I wondered if someone can help me understand what is going on.. I have just recently been almost afraid of leaving my house or seeing people. I avoid any social occasion even with family where I can.. My heart races, I am looking over my shoulder.. I am going crazy it feels. I have never felt like this before. I don't want to drop my kids off at school and hate the pick up.. Would climb into a hole if it kept me from having to see anyone. I can't relax ever anymore. I am a mess and feel like I am useless.. I get nothing accomplished ever.. I hide if someone comes to my door.. I avoid messaging people back and never answer calls anymore .. What is this??

It sounds like a form of social anxiety. There is help out there, and you are not alone or crazy. It can happen to anyone at anytime.
There is help out there but the hard part is getting to your GP to get a mental health care plan. They will discuss treatment options. For myself I see a psychologist who helps me with strategies to break the cycle, help, help me push back against the anxiety and I also take some medication. The medication doesn't make me dopey or a zombie, it just balances out the chemicals in my brain that go into hyperdrive. The combo of therapy and medication has changed my life.
Please seek help from a GP. I know it's hard to speak up, but help is out there.
Sounds like social anxiety, although I am certainly no expert. Trip to the GP I think my dear xx
You need to get a GP straight away for a Mental Health Care Plan. You obviously have lots of anxieties going on ... and you have made the first step on here, but next step is to talk to your GP about it. Good luck
Anxiety.
Its ok, lots of people feel like this at some point in their life.
It can be managed, mindfullness, self talk and a trip to a counsellor will defiantly get you on the way baxk to your normal self
Agoraphobia, a form of social anxiety. I have it, my mother has it and my great grandfather had it. It can be completely horrible at times but with medication and frequent counselling I have been able to get a grip on it. Go to your GP and tell them exactly how you feel and they will be able to help you.
