Recently I've got a real increase in anxiety. It's a joke! Like yesterday I was wearing my glasses (I got a new prescription and I hate wearing glasses as it increases my DP/DR and makes me a little unbalanced), I saw a couple of friends when I was driving in town and suddenly I got loads of anxiety so instead of stopping to say hello I just kept driving.
If I hold my hands out I notice they tremor all the time quite badly. Sometimes sitting indoors watching TV I am anxious - but I don't know why!? Like I can't sit still. Even talking to family etc has become quite difficult with random bursts of intense anxiety.
I've got some Beta Blockers which I got prescribed ages ago - should I start taking them again? I'm on 20mg of Citalopram a day - my prescription run out last week so I went without them for 3 or 4 days.
To counter my anxiety I've been getting drunk a lot at the weekends - even having like 2 or 3 pints can really calm my nerves and enable me to make good conversation with strangers. I don't want to rely on alcohol though!
I met a really nice girl at a club on Saturday - of course I was merrily drunk and had my tongue down her throat for a good 5 or 10 minutes and dancing very intimately with her. It was awesome. However, I never took her number because if I was to meet her again when I'm sober I'd be SOOO anxious. I keep getting some offers from girls to meet up and stuff but I just can't go through with it. I know girls like shy guys but I'm way beyond shy.
Can anyone explain anxiety at all or give me some good advice! I'm pretty sure the anxiety is related to the DP/DR and VS.
This is NOTHING about the way I feel I look etc. I am a good looking guy and have no real physical hang ups. So what the fuck is going on?
Thanks guys 'n gals.
