I have a problem going out in public, as I get anxious around crowds and screaming kids. I know it embarrasses my son, so we don't go out hardly,but thankfully, he doesn't live with me, but when I see him,sometimes we go out, and sometimes it's ok, but if I'm bymyself, I get all sweaty and paranoid about what other people are thinking, and most of the time I'm thinking that they're thinking of harming me, even tho they don't know me, but I'm thinking that they are going to gang up on me and beat the **** out of me...I lead a secluded life, which gets depressing and boring, but i hate to be out in public, as I'm afraid of people, from past abuse from classmates and my own mom.I find it hard to trust anyone..My mom's voice is ringing in my ears, telling me what a failure i am.
