Hi,

As the title says i would like you people to help me diagnose myself untill i see a doc.

I find it hard to walk in the streets when there are people around me, i get really nervous but it's like 95% physically, I'm shaking/trembling and I also find it hard to work normally and constantly thinking that I'm walking like a weirdo tongue .
I also find it hard to work in an office when people might be looking at me.
The weird thing is that i feel fine at home and i also dont have a self esteem problem (i think so).

Everything points towards social phobia with agoraphobia but can it really be it if I dont experience "weird" thoughts?

Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

Hi TMG and welcome!

I am sorry to read of your anxiety and troubling symptoms. I know that it can be a struggle to deal with these issues.

There is hope however! I am glad to read that you are planning on seeing your doctor for an official diagnoses and help soon.

I will decline to help you define your anxiety...but instead encourage you to try some of these anxiety reducing self-help activties instead. (really only your doctor/mental health specialist is qualified to diagnose you, but I would say that asking about the possibility of Social Anxiety would be a good starting point.)

I'm not a professional by any means, just someone who has anxieties myself. My issue is primarily health anxiety, however it sounds like you may have a little social anxiety. I also get a little anxious in crowds and feel as though people are talking about or judging me. Have had that since elementary school and I am now 37.

Off topic - I gather by your profile name that you are either a heavy metal fan or someone who works with metals. lol If it is the former - so am I.
