How can i deal with my fear of strangers? I can not go into stores unless absolutely necessary and then spend any free time thinking about how strange i must seem to my family.

Just 2 weeks ago i felt like everyone was watching me eat at denny's resturante and basically started feeling heart and my heart was racing i left my mom and little brother in the resturante and had to sit in the car til they were done eating
Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. You seem to be having an anxiety disorder. This will require treatment with CBT. This therapy is taken by either a psychologist or a psychiatrist in which the therapist identifies impaired cognitions (Thoughts) and try to correct them.
