I really do not know how to go about my story but I'll try my best.
I'm a 21 year old girl and I'm in my first year in school. I'm Introverted and shy (A chronic one). I get panic attacks anytime I'm required to step outside. For example, I might have the need to go outside to buy something, automatically I'll start feeling nauseous and very dizzy. I throw up sometimes. Once I'm done buying the stuff and I'm back into my house, my whole system will calm down.
It has gotten bad to the extent of crying anytime I remember I'll go out for one reason or the other. For one week, I've been really down because I remembered I'll be going back to school tomorrow. I might even go into coma this night because today is the last day of being at home.
I prayed to God for ASUU to strike so I can see if I can get myself together. Guess what I'm actually asking God for now? A car accident that will lead me into a coma for some time, just inorder to avoid being outside. I'm really dying. I get jittery very often these days, think a lot and rarely eat just because I'll soon be back to school.
Please, I need advice. I have very few associates in my class who probably don't care if I'm in class or not. So, I'd say I'm pretty much alone in school. I actually feel like throwing up writing this. Please help me.
(Please, don't suggest I go out and socialize. I might die while doing it. Lol. I've tried and it looked like I was forcing myself on people). I pray it gets to front page.

You really need serious help. I think you should see a psychologist.

Please do these...

1. Find extroverts & get them talking: Love kills hatred so extroverts conquer introverts.

2. Embrace The Nerves: Practice makes perfect. Indeed, like other skills, socialising also takes practice. You will get better and better over time if you stretch your boundaries steadily. This will help you grow and become pretty good at witty banter and that communicating with new people.

i feel your pain, but you need to face your fear. . once and again

This isn't funny.

Has it gotten to the extent that you wish yourself evil just because you want to escape the pains of being outside.

What you are suffering from is termed "Agoraphobia" and like every problem, it has a solution.

Maybe you should just relocate to the waters and be living with fishes and other marine element

Since you are shy to associate with humans

Hmm

Do more of video calls on WhatsApp. Do this with 2 or 3 of the contacts you chat with everyday and in no time, you'll feel the natural urge to go out and do the same physically.

you can overcome it, it is a gradual process.

first, try to go out in the company of another person

When did all this problem start?


It sounds like Social anxiety disorder.

Try see a psychiatrist. You are not mad. I have been down that road before.


Peace.

I sent you a dm, please reply. I need to tell you some things about what you are passing through which I wouldn't want to do here.

You have a problem and you know you have a problem so your problem is half solved.

Go for counselling and start building your confidence you will soon be alright

I thought I was abnormal... Now, I can gladly tell you that you are not alone cos I am like you. But, you've got to do what you have to do

#NoChoice

This is a sign of Autism

Are you in Port Harcourt?

Are you in Port Harcourt?

Are you in PH or coming to PH for the resumption?
Like someone rightly mentioned, you are suffering from agoraphobia and you need the much help you can get before you move your thoughts from wishing for something bad to thinking of doing something bad to buy more time staying indoors

i feel your pain, but you need to face your fear. . once and again

Really?? Are you doing anything about it?

No dear. Enugu

Thanks everyone. I really do appreciate.

Ciacy:

Yes I am trying... I encourage myself to just keep trying day in, day out cos I have no choice as a business person. Motivational books helped me a whole lot as mine seemed to be due to self esteem.

Thanks a lot. Guess I just have to keep trying my best.

You have severe social anxiety. It used to happen to me a lot too. Although mine has reduced to an extent now, I still feel that way sometimes. Reading your story felt as if someone was narrating the story of my life. Back then, I felt like sh*t anytime school was about to resume. It felt really depressing. I took a lot of positive reaffirmation to get past it. Then again, I had to make little efforts day by day to reduce the anxiety.
