I went at XS-mas time one year, and it was so crowded I was constantly being cut off by people, and having to weave my way in and out of the throng. At one point, I got so stressed out, I had to hide out for awhile in a toilet stall; just the four walls closing me in relaxed me.

I also don't like nightclubs and bars with loud bands and such. When I drank, the alcohol tended to numb the anxiety from the noise, but now that I don't, I just sit there and get tense.

This is exactly like me.

Thanks for the support!

This is interesting because while I may experience vague feelings similar to what you describe, I usually use it as my queue to expand (instead of contract) and attempt to dominate a crowd instead of run from it. And when I say dominate it can be as simple as goofing off or being really loud, its like a social flexing mechanism.

they tried to give me beta blockers too, I fail to see how a blood pressure medication helps "take the edge off", because it didn't do shit for me, and made things worse.

Unlike most people, I stopped giving a shit what you give your child, quite frankly because I dont understand how or why you put up with it in the first place. It seriously baffles me sometimes the shit they(people) will put up with from their kids. Not just my mom or you, but most parents.

I dont have kids so I dont get the parental thing, or why anybody in their right mind would put themselves through that. The risk of having a child, to me, isnt worth the reward. Knowing that, I choose to not to have a child that wouldn't have 2 100% awesome parents so that means no kids for dan. because I cant be 100% awesome.
