Hello all,
I am new to the site and thought I would share some of my experinces and see if they are like anyone elses. A brief history: I have been troubled by Panic/agoraphobia/anxiety for about 10 years. I intially had problems driving on the motorway and going on buses and other places with no easy means of exit.
I managed to overcome them to a degree but fast forward to this year and it is all going backwards!
At the start of this year I took a job in london which requires a 40 min commute on the train. It was a little bit nervy to start but so far so good, but then the thoughts of what if started to creep in and i became very anxious.
So i started to keep myself busy on the train, watch videos etc..that seemed to do the trick. Then a couple of weeks ago I had the mother of all attacks right out of no where, nothing like I had ever had before.
It has completely freaked me out.
After battling in my own for 10 years I have decided I cant do it alone any more and went to see the Doc and blurted all out to him, rather tearfully at times.! So I hope with help I can maybe get through it all and not be scrared of Blackfriars bridge anymore!!
Anyway time to go and get the train home now, I can hardly wait.
Thanks for listening.
PS Am I the only person who doesnt like bridges!
