This is what I did tonight instead of watching fireworks.I surfed blogs and did some surveys. I feel too jittery to watch the fireworks, jumping at every noise. I have this dreadful feeling that something really bad is going to happen tonight. I don't even want my son outside, but how can I ruin his fun because I'm having panic attacks???

How interesting...do you consider yourself to be an introvert? There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I just pictured you being an extrovert is all. :-)
(Kansassunflower;I looked up the word introver and extrovert in wikepedia. I think I am in between, an ambivert. Here are the definitions. It just depends on what personality I am that day. I believe I have a split personality.)
Extroverts tend to be energetic, enthusiastic, action-oriented, talkative, and assertive. They find partying very entertaining. (I used to party non stop, my psychiatrist said I was self medicating with drugs and alcohol.)Therefore, an extroverted person is likely to enjoy time spent with people and find less reward in time spent alone. Introverts are "geared to inspect" rather than to act, and the preferred focus is on thoughts and ideas. Introverts tend to be quiet, low-key, deliberate, and disengaged from the social world. They enjoy such activities such as reading, watching home movies and television, and doing quiet things in the vicinity of their home. Thus, one who is introverted is more likely to spend time alone or in contemplation, as these activities are rewarding. They may avoid social situations entirely, not because of shyness, but because they choose to. (I avoided social situations because of social anxiety, until I found alcohol, then I was the life of the pary.))
While most people view being either introverted or extroverted as a question with only two answers, levels of extraversion in fact fall in a normally distributed "bell" curve, with most people falling in between. The term ambivert was coined to denote people who fall more or less directly in the middle and exhibit tendencies of both groups. An ambivert is normally comfortable with groups and enjoys social interaction, but also relishes time alone and away from the crowd.
(I think that a lot of people living with bipolar disorder fall into the category of being ambiverts. When were manic were extreverts but when depressed were introverts, what do you think??)
