I think this video gives a very good synopsis of anxiety disorders. I think that this video could be very helpful to someone looking for information on these subjects or if even if they are experiencing some of these disorders.

Would having anxity about not wanting to eat in front of people be part of social anxity?

[Andy32268]

What would you call it if you discarded coming responsibilities from your mind to avoid anxiety? Just clearing out your mind, or finding things to occupy yourself with to avoid worrying (always).

Wait so u could have social phobia without having panic attacks during social situations?

@karioka2 - Find the book, "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. From the tone of your post it doesn't actually sound like you're ready to not have those issues but when you do get to the point where you've had enough with the unhappiness then go and find that book. It could be the first step in getting better. It did wonders for me. I no longer drink, take any sort of drugs or medicines (only for headaches and herbal tablets for sleeping) and exercise regularly.
