It's anxiety/panic.

Read the symptoms list to see how it can effect you, and start telling yourself asap that it can't hurt you and nothing is physically wrong with you. The earlier you can accept that the better.

Its anxiety & panic of some variety.

Its possible its agoraphobia. Check out Anxiety UK's website as there is a checklist on there. not sure if thats on here?


For a diagnosis, you need your GP but from my experience it does help to try to find the anxiety types because GPs are so limited for time that you end up with a partial diagnosis. If this happens, keep asking your GP until they complete it. For instance, my GP has me down as GAD and depression. The CBT therapist added OCD and OCPD, but since they cant diagnose...I'm stuck with the partial at the moment. I'm not too concerned though as my GP wont refer any further so I've gone my own way.
