hi all ive been suffering with anxiety/health anxiety with recently a fair amout of panic attacks,
today ive had probably my worst day , over the last 9 months ive had my own business that i can work around my good/bad days whilst still providing for my family, i have a workshop which is 10 mins from my house,
every time i drive there i over think everything until i get there then after 10-20 mins im ok, i suppose once i distract my self.
anyway today ive had a massive wobbler i suppose of a panic attack, when i finally thought id calmed down enough i left the house an started making my way , same route i take every day , however the further i got from home the more i felt my panic attack coming back, i literally got a fith of the way there and my stomach was in knots and a huge sensation of fear came over me as i turned round and drove home at speed/in a panic, i could feel my self getting less anxious
once home its died down quite fast, but thinking back when ive had bad days i always feel happier to get home, usually the quicker the better
is this whats described as agoraphobia or along those lines
im a 29yr male, not that i guess it makes any difference
thank you
matt
