I haven’t been diagnosed with this Social anxiety disorder but is this what it is or something else..:
Is it when you (examples from personal experience):
*Stay indoors out of fear of going out
*Think people can read your thoughts if you’re around people
*Can’t mentally cope with being out in town/city
*Have panic attacks when outside especially when it’s crowded
*Fear people are out to hurt you, like everyone is a suspect and hates you
*Physically can’t go out the door, you freeze up and feel like you’re going to cry
*You hear voices outside the window and have to keep them closed because people might try and come in, and you have to cover the window up with towels so nobody can spy on you (I had no curtains in the flat so had to keep them covered with towels)
*Can’t bear any light, sound or anything from outside entering the flat/house
*If you’re in public place or at a restaurant you feel like everybody is looking at you and thinking “Why is she here? Who does she think she is trying to be like us?”
I had all these problems when out of hospital it’s probably why I go crazy out there. I used to stay curled up on sofa bed thinking the police or intruders would break down my door any second was living in fear. And every time somebody was going past and talking loudly or laughing I knew it was directed at me and got really scared, thought a brick was going to go flying through the window. The only time I ever really went out were when I needed shopping, the shop was near so it was a quick dash there and dash back but there was ALWAYS somebody who laughed at me or made a comment or stared and I would burst into tears as soon as I got in.
Is this considered social anxiety disorder? My psych doesn’t really know about how I lived like this only my mother does and some support workers. It’s just the sort of thing I don’t like to talk about to the doctors in case they think am stupid or anything.
Somebody please say if they relate to this at all?
