I have always been the shy kid. But it was under control until early this year, where I started to become anxious whenever it comes to socializing, especially with someone I'm not close to. I started to twitch, sweat and shake in almost every social situation. It really annoyed me. I was confused with myself for months. I was very depressed and stupid so I abused cough syrup, pills and huff markers. During that moment I started to search through the internet about my problem and was convinced that I had social anxiety. However things remain the same even I already knew my problem. Social situations were nothing but problems for me. I rejected invitations to go out with friends, party and such.

A few weeks ago in an exam I had my frist panic attack. It was so bad I thaught I was gonna at least faint. I felt like running out of the classroom but eventually I managed to overcome the anxiety. I was anxious during the examination weeks and that caused many stupid mistakes like accidentally skipping like ten questions.

The last time I went out was more than a week ago and it was to the mosque. I was anxious throughout the whole period in the mosque. People there asked me where have I been and that freaked me out. Now I've been inside the house all the time for nearly two weeks. I'm sick of this. Help me.
