Answer 1

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps you cope with tense situations. It also helps you focus on the task at hand and motivates you. Almost everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. Typically, anxiety goes away when the triggering event is over.

However, anxiety is a problem when it becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, such as riding an elevator or leaving your house. People with anxiety disorder experience excessive fear and worry that are out of proportion to the situation. These feelings are more intense and last longer than normal feelings of anxiety.

If you find it difficult to control your worry or stress or if anxiety interferes with your daily activities, consult your doctor or a mental health professional. If you are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, effective treatment is available.

I've had very similar problems in the past. They can get real bad if you leave them untreated. It is an illness and can be treated. Don't feel bad about seeking help. Your not crazy even though at times you may feel like you going there. If left untreated it can immobilize you with the fear. It did me. They got so bad I couldn't leave the house. They where panic attacks, this is sever anxiety. What is happening is that your brain probably is not producing enough serotonin. This is the chemical that lets you thought pattern travel in the brain. I went to a psychiatrist and they put me on a regime of serotonin uptake to correct the chemical imbalance. I also use a small dose of a form of tranquilizer for the anxiety. I take these every day and now life is normal again. Please seek help for there is hope. Don't despair your not alone, there are others like you and me out there. You don't hear about it much because as you know you don't want anyone to find out and it's the same with others who have this problem. My serotonin uptake is Zoloft. It is considered an antidepressant but to feel normal again I'm glad I finally have my life back. Take care and don't lose faith. This sickness has a cure.....

I don't have a answer for you either, other than what I have heard from what others have said, and from my experience from my work. It sounds like you have a real disorder, it is called a social disorder. There is medication for this, and therapy for help. My ex had this disorder, and the pdoc put him on Paxil. I don't know if this something you would be willing to do or not, but any thing has to be better than what you have now. The other comment that was made in answer to yours, that has the same problem, he also sounds like he has the same disorder. It isn't imagined, and it is treatable. Neither is it something you have brought on yourself. It is a real disorder, that is why there is medication for your disorder. I highly recommend you go to a "good" pdoc, and get treated for you mental illness.

any sort of depression can be tide over by faith in GOD and sincere prayer.

Your prayer is from your heart. Further You must have to understood the fact that God is present in our heart. This can be realised in meditation. Further we are the creation of our own destiny. As per Hindu sacred religion, we carry all good and bad deeds life after life. There is no end unless we pray for unification of self with the divineliness.
Hence there is always a possible way to complete mergence with God in this life by a simple and wonderful meditation
