I have never liked heights since I was old enough to realise the dangers. It was that and the fear I had of speaking in front of an audience.
But anyway After coming off sertraline about 3-4 years ago due to palpitations I was getting, I've slowly started getting worse, I have now developed a phobia of tall buildings, open/busy areas, high ceilings (such as shopping centres, MEN arena etc) plus nervous speaking with people?! These are even people I work with. I just feel in general a nervous person now, unable to look people in the eyes when speaking to them.
I decided that maybe I'd be better of finding the root cause like other have said so went to hypnotherapy which did nothing apart from put a hole in my wallet, but I followed it up for a few sessions with no luck.
I felt like I had no other option but to turn back to medication where I was prescribed propranolol, but didn't really get much relief even from physical symptoms.
Feeling pretty hopeless!
Any advice would be appreciated,
Thanks
