Hi us,

i'm not sure if you have anxiety or not, you didn't really elaborate on any other symptoms. You could possibly have mild anxiety if you only sweat when you get nervous or mad. Severe anxiety would involve symptoms such as worrying about trivual things, anything and everything. Not being able to be around a lot of people at the one time, a group of people talking all at once could possibly sound like an atomic bomb going off in your head. You may get irritated much more easily than someone who doesn't have anxiety. These are all symptoms of severe anxiety. Paranoia is another one, such as going into a supermarket and feeling as though all eyes are on you and judging you. You may not take constructive critisim well at all and may even take it as though that person has just personally attacked you. If you feel these things are happening to you then you really must see your doctor and get treatment or anti depressant medication, you may need to try different types until you find the one that suits you best.

Regards,

Hey, I know how you feel. I sweat almost all the time. Especially when I am in an anxious situation. I have been going through anxiety for over 2 months now and I don't like to be around people other than my family and I don't like to go anywhere (even the grochery store). I feel that you may have a little anxiety. If this is the only symptom you have, then you should be able to handle it. I always feel like I can't breath. If you start feeling other symptoms like shortness of breath, racing heart and so on,. Go to the doctor and get checked out. Ease of the mind helps anxiety alot.

Girl22 it sounds like you might have panic disorder as well as anxiety, because I had those same symptoms too! I just finished a 12-week group using cbt and it has eliminated most of my depression and my panic disorder. The two books we used in my group are really good and I would recommend them both highly: been there, done that? Do this! By sam obitz for anxiety and depression and mastery of your anxiety and panic-third edition by michelle craske and david barlow for panic disorder.

shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat were my biggest problems. Cbt teache you tools to ease your mind and the symptoms in turn disappear I like the obitz and burns books best.
