Hi jj129785,

While I don't know if uncontrollable shaking is part of an anxiety disorder, I am not surprised that you would feel threatened or anxious around a gang on the street. It is normal to feel scared and anxious in potentially threatening situations. I'm not sure if I have an ideas about how to get your mind under control, except to try to use your best judgment about what is and what is not a safe situation, and then try to relax with your decision. I hope this is helpful.

jj129785 - you are having minor panic attacks and they are a part of anxiety disorders. Panic attacks are of varying intensities. Are you taking treatment of any kind ?
