Hi guys,
I just wanted to know if anyone else gets this or feels this way or has any advice for me.
Since having anxiety I have developed a 'routine' to my day, it's not a routine as in it's obsessive or as if I have to check the locks 50 times before I leave the house, but it feels 'safe' to me and I find if someone disrupts it, it will ruin my whole day due to the anxiety it causes.
For example my Brother will sometimes turn up randomly and ask me to go somewhere with him or ask me to help him out and it will cause anxiety. It even makes me angry, I know this sounds quite strange but I think how dare they turn up and cause me to feel this way, if they hand't have done that I would be fine and wouldn't be having a panic attack right now! It's rather stupid on my part as I'm the only one making myself feel this way.
I suppose I'm frustrated with myself as I'm not a spontaneous person anymore. I used to be, I used to go anywhere I wanted, I used to absolutely love to drive my car but now I can just about drive to the shop without having a panic attack.
It makes me feel really sad, I feel like my life is just passing me by and I'm missing out on so many things. I should be out with my friends and family enjoying the sunshine but instead I'm sat in my house feeling anxious :weep:
