I'm just feeling very anxious

I feel really alone right now because this is one of the big moments where I'm really realizing that I could have a strong case of social anxiety. I've known that I've always been really shy around people and a lot of group situations, but tomorrow I'm going to the movies and I know it will be packed full of people and I'm going with one of my friends and I honestly haven't felt so stressed in my life. Sounds dumb right? I just need help on how to coop with this. Also noting that I've had multiple panic attacks from social situations. I just don't know what to do can someone help me.

@stillsoaring Doesn't sound dumb at all. We all have our challenges; be gentle with yourself.

I hope the cinema went alright and you were able to enjoy yourself.

The mindfulness and guide links in the path menu here may lead to some amount of relief. There's panic/anxiety attack specific guide and a mindfulness audio in "education and assistance" catagory.

I'm so sorry you are experiencing this. But... it is not dumb in any shape or form!!! It's actually a lot more common than you would think. Keep you head up. It's good thst you are acknowledging that you are feeling this anxiety. That just means that you can work towards a goal of helping yourself fix it.
