In reply to Is this anxiety or something else?, posted by Lisa2712 on September 18, 2009, at 23:13:38
> When I'm eating in a restaurant with my family I have trouble just eating and focusing on our conversation like everyone else can, and I have to keep looking around me at the other people around me in the restaurant. Also when I'm writing something in public, or in a car, I have to keep looking up and around every 30 seconds or so at the people in the cars around me. Is this anxiety or a lack of attention? I'd like to go to a restaurant and eat and enjoy it like everyone else does.
It sounds either like a type of OCD and/or panic/social phobia, or maybe both countering each other.An SSRI and/or CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) might work
