Great Gains
I read over my last blog post and noticed how grim it was. I did notice a spike with my anxiety at the time of that post but things are a lot better now.
Things have improved to the point where situations that used to make me very anxious are not anxiety provoking at all. I haven't had an extreme panic attack in some time now but there are still some situations that I have to expose myself to but I have a lot of confidence and truly believe that I'll continue on the right path.

I'm Noticing a Spike with my Anxiety
I am having a very difficult time right this second. I am having a pretty extreme panic attack and I haven't felt this way in quite a while so I'm finding it difficult to cope with all this. I am at the point of a panic attack where you feel like you're about to go crazy. My chest is so tense, I feel really hot and sweaty and I'm having extreme shortness of breath.
I am really nervous about attending a convention to welcome the new VP of our department. I am scheduled to attend this event in 30 minutes and I am still at home. This event will take place at a venue outside of work and I won't know how many people will be there or the layout of the room. I might be stuck in the front of the room with co-workers behind me seeing me have a panic attack. This would be a definite 10 on my anxiety scale and I cannot picture myself attending.

Panic at Work
I was invited by my friends at work to join them for a game of pool and some drinks last Friday and ever since then I've been feeling really depressed.
It's funny how just by being invited my anxiety shot up to about an 8 on my anxiety scale and I wasn't able to ride it out like a normally do. I was feeling hot and felt like I was blushing and felt sweaty as I was trying to explain my way out of going out with them. After denying the request I felt like such a lonely outsider and began to obsess about the possibility of them thinking I'm "weird" for behaving the way I did. I truly did want to go out with them but I could not shake the thoughts of them seeing me really sweaty and anxious had I gone out with them to the bar. I knew that more people from work were already at the bar and I could not stand the thought of all my co-workers seeing me having a panic attack.
