I have GAD and just the thought of going out to a club or bar or any busy public place makes me feel sick to my stomach. I haven't been out to any big gathering since I was diagnosed with GAD 2 years ago. I need advice to help me just go out and to stop thinking the "what if's".
I need help with getting out without worrying?
It sounds like to definitely have social anxiety. I have it too. Before I was diagnosed it was very hard for me to go out. I take Lexapro which is an antidepressant that is also excellent for anxiety. It has made such a difference in my life. You should talk to a psychiatrist about going on it. In the mean time, try and relax. Don't project any situations. Don't think ahead or you will overwhelm yourself. The best way to deal with it is to put yourself in certain social situations. Have someone you know with you. It will be much easier than if you go out by yourself. Good luck.
