Hey
I also suffer from anxiety, and I definitely feel you on the 'liking your alone time' bit. It really helps if you just relax...this is not as simple as it sounds, I know.
You can try to find some time to yourself, even if you have to shut yourself in your bedroom or the bathroom for a couple minutes. Sit there for a bit with your eyes closed, breathe deeply and talk yourself down. Seriously. I say stuff like 'this is not a big deal, it's not so bad' etc.
Sometimes i will do this while listening to my favorite music on my ipod, chewing on some Altoids or just laying flat on my back completely relaxed. That's the stuff that works for me, everyone is different so think about what relaxes you most.
Another suggestion is to watch what you eat even more closely; i find that some stuff that's safe when I'm calm might give me a tummy ache when I'm anxious, and also I tend to overeat when I'm anxious as well which is no good because we have to watch portion size, too much of even safe foods can set off an attack.
ok so that's all i got... hopefully something in there was helpful :-)
