Hi Davinia
I'm new (second time round, peeked on here many years ago).
When you say you've not been out of the house, do you mean can't get past your doorstep? or out and about? I've expereinced both. Its not nice. When I couldn't even step over the threshold I kept saying to myself this is the worst and I'm coping. Your family won't understand because to them its irrational, its not their fault. Hope you can muster the courage to make some small steps soon.
Take care
T

Hello,

You are not alone. I suffer from panic attacks and everyday is such a struggle and such a battle. I feel no one understands me too. But keep going and push yourself each day, i do and it always makes me feel so much better.

Here if ever you want to chat. x
