Panic attacks! Oh yeah, I hate those too!
When I lost my job several years ago, the attacks struck me like every 15 minutes or so!
And you are right...before I was diagnosed with depression, my wife though I was just being a real wussy about everything!
But the occasional social anxiety isn't fun either. I can function just fine in crowds, but I find myself declining social engagements sometimes just so I don't have to mingle.
