Hi there,
To be honest, I am not really sure why I am posting, I just feel like I am going a little loopy.
I have health anxiety, and general anxiety and as part of that I worry not only about physical symptoms but the mental ones too. Eg... I lost my appetite a while back (anxiety related) and was utterly convinced I was developing an eating disorder.
I think I may now be having another similar experience. I was out with a friend last night and started to feel anxious, panicky even and thought I really want to get home. And then it started...... in my head I thought 'oo thats a bit like agoraphobia' and bam. I am now terrified I am agoraphobic..... to the point it is making me feel like it. I have been trying to combat it.... I dragged myself for a swim this morning, but felt so much more anxious outside my house. I am now in college and feeling so anxious, my heart won't stop banging and I feel sick. I can't work out for the life of me if it is actually that I am scared of being outside my house and in busy spaces or if I am scared of being scared of it. If that makes any sense.
Has anyone ever had anything similar? So sorry for the ramble.
Thanks in advance :)
