I don't usually write anything in the forums but I'll give it a try because I really need to get this off my chest. I'll try to keep it as short as possible.
A little background: I started working as an au pair a year ago, I have 1,5 years left and I like what I do. I was bullied for about 7 years from first year of elementary school to first year of middle school. I've always have had a problem with socializing and trusting people.
For few years I've been having symptoms like shortness of breath if I'm super stressed, I'm having hard time queueing in a shop (I usually have to walk around the shop about 10-20 minutes to get myself together) or any other place really, I get really anxious about going to places with loads of people where I know I have to have social interactions and I always listen if people have a judgement on their voice when they're talking to me (for example few days ago my hostmom said that I could do potatoes more often for dinner and I've been feeling such a failure about it. I know that's completely ridiculous but I can't help it.) I've also got shaky hands very often and I'm feeling nervous most of the time which makes me pick at the skin around my nails.
I have hard time getting to the doctor to talk about this because I already feel anxious even thinking about discussing about it with anyone, I'm usually very closed up person who doesn't talk about own emotions or feelings but listens other peoples' problems. I don't want to feel like a burden with my silly problems.
Do you think I might have an anxiety?
Thank you if you read the whole story, I appreciate it. x

I think my friends think I'm imagining everything, I'm so worried about my health, everytime something hurts I'm sure it's something serious and am in a verge of a panic attack and I tell these things to my friends but they say it's nothing and usually are right in the end which makes me feel like an idiot for being so worried.
Thank you for your tips! xx
