My family doesn't understand how bad my SA can get for me. There's times I can't even leave my room because I'm worried about what MY FAMILY will say to or about me. That doesn't occur often, but I can't go out shopping alone in fear I'll have to talk to an employee at a store. I can't answer questions in class without getting the feeling that I'll pass out or without hearing my heart beating in my ears and the blood rushing to my face. It gets to the point where I lose peripheral vision because I can't breathe properly and my heart is racing so fast. My throat closes up and I just want to lay on the floor and cry. I don't know any other way to describe the way I feel and no matter what I tell my family, they don't care or understand.
