I've suffered anxiety/panic attacks off and on since i was 10 years old ( now 33) i just don't feel there gonna go away i HATE them as i just feel my life is over am in a dark place right now and all my doctors say is its JUST anxiety... yes there most probley right but still doesn't stop how am feeling and worrying 24/7 i don't even wanna go out my door.
soon as i leave the house and drive away y stomach goes all tight along with my chest/throat and my heart pounds... its the thoughts i can't cope with (omg whats wrong etc.. i turn round and come straight home :( i wanna carry on or stay out but my mind just goes crazy and i feel i cant stand it no longer :( once i get home and calm down i then beat myself up over it and HATE myself for it and cry for hours then thinking i should of stayed out but i just no id go insane

how can i over come this

Hello

What have you done in the past to help with your anxiety, does it just seem to happen when your outside, have you had counselling or medication to help you. Xx

ive tried EVERYTHING @angels22165 i HATE how i am right now all am doing is crying as i cant push myself past the anxious feelings.. i have a phobia of vomiting and soon as panic hits i think " am gonna be sick" i never have been sick but its how my mind works.. ive seen many counsellors / psycharitists etc yet they all say am in the right mind i no what i HAVE to do yet i cant do it ??

I know it's hard and they say go about your daily life doing things has you would with the anxiety there then each time you do it, it will get less and less distressing - it is hard when the anxiety is there daily for no reason x

Have you managed to track your anxiety at all? so you know what kind of things tend to make it worse/better?

its more when am alone thats when it really kicks off or if am not near my safety nets.. i used to love life and loved doing things alone (shopping etc) but now i dont wanna go anywhere because of the panic

Hi

Are you able to go to a shop at a quieter time with someone, but do a bit on your own, like literally go to the next aisle then back to your support or just walk down an aisle slightly ahead of them, then you are still out achieving but not totally on your own, then build up from here
