Hi, I am new here. Have spent hours reading posts on this site, but finally joined up!
Wondering of there is any one out there can relate to me really. I was told about a few years ago that i have generalised anxiety. I was having panic attacks (my first one was on a tube train, and it just kind of spiralled from there) when I travelled far away from home, in crowded places, on trains, in traffic jams, at work... just about every where! If I felt like Iw as trapped and could not get out of a situation I would panic.
Things have got much better. I have been on venlafaxine for 3 years. The constant axiety has stopped. I only get it every now and then. I am able to live an almost normal life. Apart from travelling.
I am terrified to get on a train. I really need to for work, and just to make my life easier. But am terrified of going bak into panic mode.
Any one have any tips? Have you been through anything similar?
Thanks,
naynay
