Anxiety

DATE: Sep 02 2008, 8:02 pm / MOOD: Mellow

I'm new to anxiety tribe... thought I would start by posting a blog.

I feel like my anxiety is like a water balloon...it builds and builds pressure and then the smallest thing causes everything to pop and I break down crying. 

That happened to me earlier today.

I've really been avoiding my friends lately too... being around a lot of people tends to get me feeling very stressed and overstimulated and irritable, so lately I just avoid that anxious feeling by staying alone in my room or hanging out with one friend at a time.

This social isolaton bothers my family, but I don't know what to do about it... I just can't handle being at places like church (last time I went, people started talking to me and were standing very close to me and I wanted to scream and run out of there!!!)  I'm not sure how to make my mom understand how painful it is for me to be somewhere like that...
