Hi,
I recently finished uni and since this has happened my panic/anxiety has come back and seems to be much worse. It is hard to explain but I used to have panic attacks during uni which were short anxiety attacks but I'd soon be alright. But after leaving uni it has seemed to developed more into a general anxiety where I am anxious all day and feel scared to leave the house to go anywhere. I cannot even nip up the shops to or drive anywhere without anxiety. I find it hard to even go to work and I panic while I'm there.
I just hate that they've got this bad again and can't believe it was like this before I went to uni and I don't know how I managed to go three years without feeling like this.
I'm just looking for advice, I've tried to ground myself in these situations by looking at things/hearing things etc. but doesn't really help, I've also tried telling myself that it's just my head making the panic and there is nothing to worry about which actually seems to make me panic more.
It's starting to get to a point where it's stopping me doing stuff I want to do and I don't want to be like this.
Many thanks.
