Do You Guys Get Nervous When You Leave House??

[jjgold]

I get real up tight, cannot eat and face gets red
Maybe a slight panic attack

I feel much more comfort bale behind closed doors where no one can judge me or look at me strange or think everyone is talking about you.

I always think wherever I am someone talking about me as far my rug, my weight, being bald, etc but in reality they are not

If I am in Kohls I literally stare look all over the place constantly to see if they are looking at me

Rug detection or someone trying to look under my hat are MAJOR FEARS

It'll be hard to get in the Mafia with that attitude!

Yes but I hide it
I cannot wait to get back inside my cave man
We like being in front of a computer playing with numbers

Coach this used to happen to me when binge smoking. Lay off those mind altering substances and all of a sudden the paranoia will magically disappear...

Life is too fukkin short to worry about the little things coach...

Slightly but in different way
I'll get the gambling shakes
all I think about is getting home to watch games and check line movements
when people talk to me I pretend I listen but in reality I'm thinking bout who to bet on
I get nervous and run home
Fukk them anyway they don't understand

Agoraphobia (from Greek ἀγορά, "marketplace"; and φόβος/φοβία, -phobia) is an anxiety disorder characterized by anxiety in situations where it is perceived to be difficult or embarrassing to escape. These situations can include, but are not limited to, wide-open spaces, crowds, and uncontrollable social situations such as may be met in shopping malls, airports, and on bridges. Agorophobia is defined within the DSM-IV TR as a subset of panic disorder, involving the fear of incurring a panic attack in those environments.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup> The sufferer may go to great lengths to avoid those situations, in severe cases becoming unable to leave their home or safe haven.
Although mostly thought to be a fear of public places, it is now believed that agoraphobia develops as a complication of panic attacks.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup> However, there is evidence that the implied one-way causal relationship between spontaneous panic attacks and agoraphobia in DSM-IV may be incorrect.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference">[3]</sup> Onset is usually between ages 20 and 40 years and more common in women.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference">[4]</sup> Approximately 3.2 million, or about 2.2%, of adults in the US between the ages of 18 and 54, suffer from agoraphobia.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference">[5]</sup> Agoraphobia can account for approximately 60% of phobias.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference">[6]</sup> Studies have shown two different age groups at first onset: early to mid twenties, and early thirties.<sup id="cite_ref-GelderMayouGeddes2005_6-0" class="reference">[7]</sup>
In response to a traumatic event, anxiety may interrupt the formation of memories and disrupt the learning processes, resulting in dissociation. Depersonalization (a feeling of disconnection from one’s self) and derealisation (a feeling of disconnection from one's surroundings) are other dissociative methods of withdrawing from anxiety.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference">[8]</sup>
Standardized tools such as Panic and Agoraphobia Scale can be used to measure agoraphobia and panic attacks severity and monitoring treatment
