Hi all,
I have had a letter today inviting me to start an anxiety management course at the local college next Wednesday (its a group course). I am excited (to be doing something about it) but im really panicing about it. I am agoraphobic but not totally housebound, i can go out with my partner or mother, but havn't had to be out alone for a few months and when i am i have panic attacks. I am panicing even thinking about going to a college, i dont know if i can do it, I really want to go and feel i should but think i will panic on the way before i even get there. My mom cant come with me as she is going to look after my children and my partner is at work, also i would feel pretty stupid at nearly 30 having to bring someone to "look after me".
I need anxiety management to get to the anxiety management course lol!
Can anyone help me please!!!
I have phoned the college to speak to the tutor about what it entails but im no nearer understanding what will happen. Has anyone else been on one of these courses? The tutor was helpful in saying that she will meet me in reception so i dont need to wonder around a big building alone! so the tutor seems nice and quite understanding but im so anxious.
So i suppose my questions are:-
1- how do i get there without panicing and going back home,:unsure:
2- how do i cope when im there, :unsure:
3- what will happen there -has anyone else been on a course like this :unsure:
