Hi everyone.
I'm 35 and have been suffering from anxiety and panic for about 10 years. I'm currently taking 10mg escitalopram daily which helps my general anxiety. My panic flares up when in situations I feel I can't escape from especially being in a car. It really impacts on my life as I can't go in taxi's or accept lifts from anyone as I know I'll have a panic attact. Even thinking about it is making me feel panicky! During my panic attact I get a sudden and urgent need to empty my bowels which as you can imagine is traumatic when stuck in a car no where near a toilet.
Really hoping I'm not the only one to suffer like this. Any tips or advice very gratefully received
