Hi all
i was diagnosed with generalised anxiety , social anxiety and agrophobia .
i have this fear that i cant really explain and i dont know how to get rid of it , i dont understand it and i wondered if maybe it was an OCD type thing, i dont understand OCD at all so souldnt recognise it really i dont think.
ok here goes
i dont go out , i am not 100% housebound because i go out if i really need to and if there is totally absolutely no way of avoiding it but i dont go out for fun .
one of the reasons is because i get this thought in my head where i think if i go out voluntarily someones going to die or something terrible is going to happen somewhere. i cant shake the feeling and as soon as i get home i check the news and if the phone rings shortly after i get home i am convinced its someone calling me to say someone else died or got injured etc . it feels totally true to me like bad stuff definatly is linked to me going out , but i know realistically this cant be right , i mean people die somewhere all the time surely my leaving the house isnt anything to do with any of them, but then i cant make myself belive that even tho logic says it has nothing to do with me .
argghh help i dont know how to get over this or what it is .
does anyone understand it ?
