I am getting really exasperated with this panic and anxiety thing... I am really pushing through it. Going out when I don't want to. Twice thsi weekend, once to a shopping mall and again to the French market in town. But still my symptoms remain sky high no matter how long I stay with the discomfort.

I thought this kind of exposure was supposed to work - all that is happening is that I feel more **** than ever.

Has anyone else gone through this. why won't anxiety and panic go away if you keep doing things you want to do - mine seems to be getting worse however brave I am.
