Anxiety in public. How do I cope?

Question

So I really don't like being in a place with many people. I get very nervous and get mild anxiety and mood swings. If I'm at a restaurant I get really sad, but I can hide it. When I'm at the mall I get aggrivated and irritable, that is harder to hide. And if I'm at in the lunchroom at school I get this nervous twitch under my eye, that I can't control at all.

I understand that I'm not the only on in this world and that helps to some degree but I don't know how to deal with it.

Any tips for keeping my cool in public areas? It would be sooo sooo helpful, thank you

Answer

You just have to work on it. Try to seclude yourself to smaller areas with less people and work back up to large groups. It helps to have someone with you and then you can focus on the fact that you are with them and not everyone around you. Deep breathing and meditation techniques can help too so look into that and try somethings. Mine is pretty severe, I can't really leave my house by myself sometimes, but looking for coping mechanisms and taking small steps can help a lot.

Answer
