When life is no longer fun..

[neobyte1]

I have a panic disorder and social situations disorder, which means that i can't go anywhere anymore. It has been getting worse now. For example being in a shopping line is a real pain, i have this weird feeling that everyone is watching my every movement and then my heart starts beating really hard, i get that "this is not real" feeling and all i can do is to fight or escape.

Nowadays im an alcoholic, because alcohol is the only substance that helps me to actually "stay alive" (buy food, drinks, meet friends etc.)

I don't know, this all started like 8months ago in one day. It just happened, i got my first panic situation and now everywhere i go when im sober, im afraid that it happens again. So i have been alone in my own apartment for the last 8months, drinking and trying to understand this situation. Has this happened to anyone else and can this like go away or do i have to live a life like this till i die?

This is a nightmare and i had to quit all my hobbies (i was a dancer) and cancel all my performances in another countries.

Discuss about panic and social situation disorders in this topic.

Go to a psychiatrist and get a prescription for Prozac and some therapy sessions.

You guys have been talking about therapy but do you understand that i can not go to therapy because it's one of the worst social situations you could ever have. So to be able to go there, i should be drunk and im not sure if the person there gets the right picture of me if im always drunk there.

This is why this whole thing is so complicated.

I see, but things will become more and more a burden for you, I don´t know exactly how bad it already is, but you are in desperate need of help.

Have you actually been diagnosed? Because your description screams Schizophrenia to me. You don't need to sit in your room alone, drinking, trying to understand others. You need medical help from an actual doctor. It isn't as you think it is, as here you are in a social situation: talking to people on an internet forum.

Your best bet is to go to therapy. You do not need alcohol. You do not need to be afraid. Your only enemy in a situation like this is yourself. Show yourself who's boss and work to overcome your anxiety by seeking professional help.

I agree with Stem here. I wouldn't agree with the others though with therapy, therapy is useless as it is and won't help you out, what you need is to be diagnosed and then get medical treatment for it / medicatons.

Yes living a life on constant medication is acceptable, I know others who have attempted suicide had huge mental conditions dont do therapy because its useless as hell but basicly live on medication, it does make it far better to live with even if you dont think its a fine way to live. if it allows you to live and not kill yourself its good.

First things first get diagnosed, without a diagnosis not only will you of course not get the correct meds for it, but anyone who takes normal anti depressants etc who actually has a problem can always tell you the medication is fucking useless. If you get diagnosed with something doctors will actually pay attention to THEN you can actually get good medication, the stuff that actually works.
