It’s almost like you’re describing my symptoms.. I’m also outgoing and social but since my covid recovery I too have anxiety when I’m involved with others and then I talk too fast and start sweating..afterwards I’m exhausted and soaking wet, I have times that I feel like I’m going crazy.. I also use Ativan to calm down but I feel guilty because I’m trying so hard to get off these evil meds, they work well but when they wear off you have hell to pay back, it’s a proverbial roller coaster ride..I was doing okay with weaning but covid totally destroyed my efforts, I have hurt my health in the past few years with the pandemic and then cancer..my problem is I worry too much and it’s becoming chronic, poor appetite, little sleep and obviously weight loss which I couldn’t afford. I’m truly very negative about myself and how well I can do, it doesn’t help that my building I live in is old with bad ventilation so I smell tobacco in my unit.. it’s not a smoke free building and I have lived here for 36 years, that’s half of my life..moving isn’t an option so I’m stuck.. I don’t have the best support from the medical staff, it’s all just so depressing.
