I'm finding that I am really struggling with being sociable. The holidays are so hard for me and even going to church has become an ordeal. I'm starting to wonder if I need some kind of therapy or something. I find myself avoiding being around people as much as possible and have panic attacks and a lot of anxiety in most social situations. I'm always so afraid I'll say or do something wrong or look like a total idiot. I find it really hard to make small talk and find I have very little in common with most people. I've started avoiding church because I just feel so stressed being in a room of people and having to sit still and knowing that if I have to leave the room that everyone will stare at me wondering why I'm going out of the room and that it disrupts things.
I'm sorry to go on about this but I'm really having problems with this and just feel like crying. I want to go to events and visit with people and most of all I want to go to church but it is just soooo hard for me and I feel so depressed and sad. I even take Zoloft but it doesn't help very much.
I was just wondering if anyone else struggles with this or has any suggestions to make things easier in social settings.
