yes. it is a form of anxiety. but it can
also be other things like phobia's of
being in rooms with alot of people.
Do you get heat flashes the longer you
stay in that room? Do you panic?

Hey Jake, I suspect you really do stop
breathing when this happens. By the time
you get out and breathe again you really
are "drowning". There are two things you
need to work on:
1. The underlying fear of strangers and
your self-consciousness
2. Your breathing
There's not much I can say about the first
issue. You'll need a professional for
that.
But you can learn to use your breathing to
calm you and cope with the situation
rather than simply to stop breathing. This
is a form of panic attach and if you learn
to deal with it by breathing slowly and in
a regulated pattern you'll be more than
half way to a solution. The problem might
go away completely if you can learn to
cope with it like this.
There's a system called Breatheasy which
teaches you this pattern of breathing by
combining it with music. You can get it on
mp3 too and carry a player wherever you
go. Use it to deal with panic attacks. It
works great.
