Im Nick, I have some sort of social anxiety, it seems to be getting worse daily. It started years ago but has been manageable up until about 3 weeks ago. I started getting ulcers and taking lots of days off work. Then it turned into horrible insomnia and i asked for a week off to get sorted. went to the doctor and got sleeping pills. that helped the sleep problem but i still woke up feeling exhausted, shaky and panicky with racing and repeating thoughts about everything like work, family, money. Started trying meditation and other relaxation things which seem to help. However I started avoiding every social thing. and barely left my house. I went back to the doctor and he put me on prozac, ive been on it for 12 days and its not helping yet, the doctor says it takes more time. Now I'm having anxiety attacks whenever I think about going back to work or going to the doctor or anything. Its only getting worse. the past 2 days have been the worst. I called a pshychiatrist today. He says I need urgent help and I'm supposed to meet with him tomorrow morning. I told him I would. I'm so scared that I'm going to panic and not go. The only place I feel safe is shut up in my room, in my bed. This is ridiculous because about a month ago I was mostly happy and normal, now I have shut out everyone. Its crazy how fast I changed. I know I need help which is why I will force myself to go tomorrow.
