Stop talking?

[lizikins]

I have bad panic attacks when i'm out places because i have agoraphobia. It seemed like usually when i would have panic attacks and i was around people i would talk alot. Lately though for the past couple months i don't talk at all when i have panic attacks. Like when i'm in a class and someone starts talking to me i just answer them with a quick yes or no because i feel so bad i don't want to talk. I talk less with guys also when i'm feeling panicky, and they think that i don't like them. For example this one guy was really cute in one of my classes and he said something to me and i answered him really shortly because i didn't feel good. Then other days i'll talk alot, and he seemed to get kind of confused lol, it seems like i've been doing that to guys alot lately one second im talkative and then the next im not so they think i don't like them as a friend or anything! it's very annoying and i've started to do it with my friends who are girls too. it seems like when i feel rly bad i just try to get away from everyone and retreat into my head. does anyone else do this? anny suggestions on how to stop doing it? im usually a very talkative person and outgoing but lately its been wierd.

I am exactly the same way. It's difficult to even have a conversation with someone when I'm having bad anxiety. Just do what you need to do to get through it and don't worry about what other people think.
