I feel horrible

Posted by Dima on August 13, 2010, at 13:31:35

I came to my hometown to see my friends who I haven't seen in months because of my depression/anxiety and I can't socialize without it feeling like torture. I can't focus on their conversations, I just start worrying every few seconds without even noticing it. I used to be smart and could figure out puzzle games, and I was watching my friend play a puzzle video game and I felt so dumb. My memory is completely gone, so they keep reminding me of things I did in the past that I don't remember at all.

My social anxiety is terrible around them. Like I try my hardest to focus on my breath or something around me to not be anxious, but it's like this incredible tension that I can't relax throughout my whole body. Which is always there, just more so around other people, so I always feel a mental "tug" to get away from people, no matter how long I try to relax with them. Is this just severe anxiety or is this akathisia all the time? It feels kind of like a mild form of the akathisia reaction I had to Abilify.

Should I try Xanax? Ativan and Klonopin both do absolutely nothing for me. I feel so terrible, and I think I'd rather risk an addiction than feel like this. Anything I can do sooner? I don't feel enjoyment for a single minute throughout the day. Help!
