Mental issues.

Hello.

I have a condition I've been fighting for years and it is holding me back.

When I'm at home or at my place of work, 8 years now. I feel extremely comfortable. Normal.

At work I'm outgoing, witty, and very intelligent. I think very clearly.

My problem is going out of my comfort zones. I stop thinking clearly. I'm no longer outgoing. Anxiety kicks in and I lose my wit.

As a child I was a class clown...popular. I got involved with drugs and one day had a mild over dose. I've never been the same sense. While over 10 years later I've much improved I still don't feel comfortable in public or social situations.

HI,
How are you? Do you still experience anxiety attacks? Problem anxiety may be caused by a mental condition, a physical condition,stress, the effects of drugs, or from a combination of these. It is important that medical conditions such as anemia, asthma attack, infection, drug intoxication or withdrawal, or a number of heart conditions must be ruled out to prevent anxiety. Have this evaluated further for proepr management. Medical management or therapy may help. Take care and best regards.
