Social anxiety

...See more I think what I’m experiencing is social anxiety but I’m not quite sure, because whenever the idea of meeting people or being present in a social gathering is offered to me or sometimes it’s mandatory, my chest gets tight and it’s hard to exhale, it feels like there’s a knot in my chest that is struggling to break, sometimes it can break if I try to yawn, sometimes I just have to wait for it, and it happens in anticipation of the event, like a week before the event starts. Does anyone feel anything similar to that?

...See more I’m 17 and for more than 6 months I’ve been having really dark thoughts and I’ve lost connection with the people I love. I haven’t talked to a therapist or anyone about this until recently, my best friend seems to think that I’ve changed since May and that I’ve been oddly rude, distant and quiet. I don’t know what you’re supposed to do on these threads but I’m just gonna rant. it gets really hard to breathe when I start to cry even if it was just a couple of tears, I think that signals to a start of a panic attack, I’ve been having a lot of those. I struggle keeping myself alive.
