i don't know what to do

Hi
i suffer from social anxiety disorder. Recently i realized i had it a long time and i can't stop it. The moment i walk out of the house i feel like i am going to die. I get this choking sensation like someone is strangling me and choking me. I have a swallowing difficulty as well. When i am outside my friends see me and see the look of worry in my face and ask me "whats wrong?" and i have no answers. I just feel ill being out. When i go out i just want these symptoms to stop.

Is anyone going through the same problem as me?

I went through a decade of the same thoughts and symptoms, it's horrifying. BUT, you need to remember that the thoughts and symptoms you are experiencing are not the manifestation of TRUE fear... there is nothing to be frightened of. Your heightened anxiety is causing this, nothing more. Fear is a powerful emotion, especially when you are being chased by a tiger, but it can be as powerful when you are not in danger and this is exactly what's happening to you. Those sensations and thoughts cause fear, the fear causes the sensations and thoughts etc. etc. If you can break that cycle, you will see rapide changes in how you feel. We have helped over 55,000 people to do exactly that so I can tell you right now that it can be done.

Why do you say you have Social Anxiety Disorder? It sounds more like agorpahobia to me.
