Any advice? He’s 18. And recently confided that he can’t do anything alone and when he does he will sometimes get this anxiety attacks . It’s like an out of body experience , fight or flight type thing. He says he worries compulsively about what other people think of him . I caught him smoking pot the other day and this tearful confession came pouring out . I know my husband has these tendencies as well. He just avoids social situations at all costs . There are anxiety disorders in husbands side of the family. Son has asked me to set him up with a counsellor . What else can I do?
