I don't know...

I'm not quite sure what is wrong with me, but for almost a year and a half I have just been falling apart inside. I'm terrible with social situations now and I can't bring myself to stay an evening out, I have to leave whatever event, gathering or place I am, no matter how many or how little people. My mind races and I want to get home and it angers me as to why I have become like this, I also feel like I can't connect with anyone, not even my own girlfriend and it feels so strange. I realise I have everything I could possibly want, but why is it not making me happy and why am I always anxious? I can't work it out and why am I so nervous around other human beings, why do I have to escape and be alone all the time. I can't find the answers.

Hi,

Im in a similair situation. Im looking to visit a psychiatrist soon. Ive trieds meds briefly, but really didnt notice a difference.

The thing with G.A.D is that there are always trigger's that causes anxiety.... social things, symptoms like racing thoughts, heart papitations, sweating, nervousness, there's an endless list.

If you think you do suffer go to your doctor. As there are things that can help you. Medication can help with symptoms, though it doesn't get rid of anxiety, the only way to do that unfortunatley is to face your fears, and figure out why you're anxious and that's hard to do.

What I have to do is do a lot of postiive self talk, and I have to go out and do it because I've been in enough situation's to know now that it doesn't last, it goes away.

Maybe you are finally realizing alot of humans suck Sorry just trying to make you smile a little! I actually feel that way about humans now that I am older.
My only advice for starters would be to make sure your girlfriend knows how you feel...I think this is most important!!!! This way she will be more patient and give you time to sort things out with a professional who can give you advice.
Also maybe for the time being...just limit yourself to a few "humans" you feel comfortable around...avoid large crowds if they make you feel uncomfortable.
I for example don't feel comfortable walking around in daylight but I am ok at night...so I tend to take walks at night instead.
Maybe if you know you have to go out then watch a movie that makes you laugh before you go...or watch some funny youtube videos such as Tom Mabe!
