difficult social situations = full blown wave

[[pu...]]

Ok so I was just in a tricky social situation

(it was heavily emotional, involving an ex)

and the anxiety from the situation seems

to have thrown me into a full blown wave?!??!

 

 

I know lots of people post things like this but

I literally feel extremely physically ill. Almost shaking. I'm almost 9

months off and I feel like I'm early in withdrawal.

 

I mostly have been avoiding social situations

I thought I would be ok.

 

I guess I'll just have to keep on avoid all social situations from

now on? Because this is terrible. I can't believe it I thought I was

doing better. I can't believe how upset I feel.

 

Anyone? How will I ever know if I'm ready to face the world again?

I had a bad exchange with a co-worker today (he aggressively & loudly yelled at me and the whole side of our building heard it. Like, lost it on me for an invalid reason. (guess he was having a bad day). But it was aggressive & crossed a line big time. While I kept my composure at the time & walked away, it made me feel threatened. After I walked away, I started shaking, I couldn't breathe, chest tightened up...just like an acute level panic attack. This occurred at 9 am this morning & it's 10 pm now & ive been suffering ALL DAY from this. I had training most of the day, and composed myself enough to get through it, but the minute the trainer left, I burst into tears, and cried for literally TWO HOURS straight at work. (thank goodness the rest of the office had already left for the day.) Feel like it REALLY set me back, which is disappointing, as going into work this morning, I felt like I was doing better after a really difficult 4 days. I'm so disappointed that one cruddy person's actions has set me back so much. I had EXTREME breathing difficulty after the incident, as well. Mean People Suck! (especially in benzo withdrawal...) I'm doing a little better now that I'm home. So, YES, negative interactions DEFINITELY can impact withdrawal/make symptoms reappear!

I'm sorry you did not have a good day. I understand. My supervisor has her days too. Recently she has been 'OK'. But her personality scared people sometimes. She's loud and aggressive and pick on people, and look 'grumpy' sometimes. I Remembered before she used to belittle me and I believe her behavior and this work environment made my anxiety worse. I want to change my job so bad but I'm learning to be patience because I am suffering so much I dont think I can handle a new job for now.

I know how you feel. I have been there. However, I think we need to face social situations slowly and learn how to deal with them. It'll get better it just takes time. I notice when I am in windows, I handle things so calmly and with confidence and even a mean person talks to me, I am not scared of him/her. But as soon as a wave kicks in, my confidence and calmness drops.
