Help!! Feelings of uncomfortableness all of a sudden.

Posted , 5 users are following.

It's what the title says, today I've gotten the worst one yet, around 3 times this feeling which comes and goes suddenly. The only common factor I have when I feel this is when my décolletage is exposed. I've tried googling feelings of uncomfortableness suddenly but it just shows up depersonalisation. I'm not sure if it is, but I remember having this problem since I was as young as 11. I could be doing anything random then all of a sudden I am washed over by a wave of discomfort, sort of like exposed in a way, plus a little bit of shame like I'm naked or something. I just want someone to tell me what this is, so that I can find a treatment of a sort because this feeling is quite horrible. I don't get this a lot, maybe 1-3 times a year or something, and it doesn't happen all the time when my décolletage is exposed.

      The area between your neck and your chest, the collarbone area.

      Hi Miao,

      I shouldn't worry to much. This feeling is nothing to be alarmed about

      I would guess it's a sudden lack of confidence that washes over you, out of the blue

      Feeling "exposed "  is a form of vunerability.

      That it started at a time in your life when " body changes " were manifesting is telling. As our bodies metamorphise into that of young adults, we often feel self-conscious and embarrassed

      Don't  let this feeling frighten you. Just let it wash over you. It will then soon ease

      Indeed. Rarely a day passes when I heard a word/something, and think, What does that mean? / I never knew that!

      Mind you, we'd be dull sausages if we knew EVERYTHING!  And insufferable too.LOL smile

      It's not a feeling of that either, I am quite comfortable in my own skin. That is why this feeling is unusual. I'm wondering if it's a sort of panic attack, because whenever my chest is covered I feel safer and more comforted.

      Possibly some form of panic attack then. It appears to be a momentary feeling of vunerability when you feel "exposed" that ignites it

      I shouldn't let this frighten you further. Tell yourself it will soon pass and like as not it will

    Oh my god, I find found another person! I've dealt with this same thing, also since I was young (elementary school) and also relatively infrequently.

    For me, it often happens while I'm showering and it's a sudden feeling of shame, disgust, and overall discomfort. In severe episodes I can feel (mentally but not physically) nauseous, if that makes sense.

    The feeling is absolutely horrid and unbearable.

    I see this was posted 5 years so if you've figured out what it is, please let me know!

      this is exactly how it happens to me! another common trigger for me is going into cold water, particularly when its on my bare stomach and chest. do you have any idea why this happens?
