Stress Center Peer Support

Today, I had to go into the office (I usually work from home) for a meeting and was super anxious about turning red. Then, with the help of Lucinda's tapes, I decided that I needed to tell myself over and over in my head that it's ok if I turn red. And that totally took away my anxiety. I slept well...

My eyes dont well up with tears, but I totally understand your embarrassment. My thing is turning red when I feel certain emotions or talk about certain things or the spotlight is put on me. It is very embarrassing and difficult to control.

Celexa did work for me at first. It made me feel like a zombie but my panic was gone. But then after a few months it started giving me suicidal thoughts which went away as soon as I came off of the medication. Just be careful.

Hi, does anyone else have a debilitating fear of turning bright red in front of other people? I am so embarrassed of showing emotion in social situations. I have done this before, like when the attention is suddenly put on me or someone says something I don't agree with or something that embarrasses...
