Intense Anxiety social maybe Only serious answers please

So i have found myself almost completely consumed with anxiety most of the time..im always wondering why people are looking at me, what peopl are talking about, and what the people behind me are doing.. if a friend of mine goes more than a few hours with out calling me back i wonder what i've done wrong and if someones in a bad mood i assume it me..iMy heart starts raceing any i cant sit still and my palms sweat...its crazy..!its almost umbearable i cant even go to the movies because the whole time i wonder what the people behind me are doing....could there be a reason for this......and is there anything i can do to try and control it

My best friend suffers the same. She tried to handle it on her own and ended up in Mendota Mental Health Institute - twice. Both times for suicide attempts because of her fear and sense of hopelessness of not being able to control her issues herself. The last time was by overdose and it messed up her mind permanently. There is no medical reason she is alive-she should be dead.

She got medical treatment and is on medication. She was diagnosed with Severe Social Anxiety Disorder. It took about 6 months to get the right kind of medicine and dose that works for her. She also changed her diet and some bad habits. Now she is so much better. She can drive a car without fear, go for a walk without anxiety attacks and even shop in a store. There are still instances that are rough for her - like large crowds and any loud yelling/shouting. But she is getting stronger and more sure of herself as time goes on. It has been 3 years since the last Mendota episode and she is doing better every day at handling this disease. She has very few "attacks" now and can usually control them on her own.
