Hi everyone! So I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety for a while but ever since May I’ve been having an interesting problem. I will be in a conversation with one person or a group of people and then become overwhelmed with what I believe to be social anxiety and sadness. My heart will start beating fast and I would have to keep myself from frowning (my mouth will keep twitching trying to frown). Also I will feel like I have to cry out of nowhere which makes me more anxious because I don’t know what’s going on. These feelings will happen mostly during the times when I’m listening mostly in the conversation. 

The only way I can usually get it to stop is to bury my face in my phone and try to calm down. Or sometimes it just won’t stop and I either ride it out or exit the conversation. 

Has anyone else experience this and have any tips? It doesn’t happen all the time, but I would like it to stop or figure out the cause because it doesn’t happen during every conversation.
