I am so scared and exhausted from my anxiety. I’m 22 years old and used to be an extremely social, friendly, and a person with a willingness to do anything. I always got “stressed easily,” but never this. 

Over the course of the past year, my anxiety has gotten worse and worse to the point I’m having uncontrollable, debilitating panic attacks in public. My head will begin to spin, I’ll get tunnel vision, my entire body will cold flush and get tingly. I will have horrible intrusive thoughts. When I’m at home I’m fine, but whenever I feel “trapped” such as in a restaurant or in a car with someone, I immediately have a panic attack. I’ve had to leave work a few times and it is a new job. I’ll feel hyper aware of my own skin and lose sight of everything. I’m so scared and I don’t know what to do, it is ruining my life.
