Diazepam usually does the trick with me, but it's bloody addictive so my honest advice would be to steer clear. I find relaxation helps when I'm in a calm state. But nobody can know what each of us go through its bad enough when your own families cant cope with what we feel, people who have no love for you at all, well they just won't unless they have someone close to them who feels the same, its a shame but it's true. Also when I'm in places where Im in conversation with others, If I get asked things such as how was your weekend, I keep it short like "yeah was good" and then ask them "what about yours" and on most occasions they want to tell you there life story to which you can pretend to listen or not, they wouldn't know as you can just smile and listen, or switch off, although I must admit there have been times where I'm listening and I'm thinking about what I might watch on TV, and then the person says something like "do you know what I mean?" so in this situation I'd be like " yeah I see what you mean" or "hmm it's difficult" or "I can see where your coming from" and then change topic like did you hear about so and so and that detracts the attention away from me again. hope I'm making sense and it helps some of you. Good luck.
