1) My anxiety started in 2003 when I was on a train and as I went through a tunnel i had what I can only describe as a split second snooze. I woke with a sudden jerk and all the muscles in my arms and legs were rigid I then felt very panicy i was sat on the window seat of a four table seat of the train after this a feeling of a split second drop occurred constantly i went back to work and when i was working on the computer it would happen it carried on causing my disent into agoraphobia this carried on regularly for 4 years its only in the last year this has started to subside but it happens if I am sat at work facing my computer and have my legs under the desk. I have to sit sideways as a sort of getaway position, this is not obviously health and safety when sitting at a computer. Has anyone had anything similar? I hope so because even my therapist disn't really understand what i was talking about. Also i cant have anyone sitting next to me at a desk if they do i start to feel panicy and have to either keep drinking water or jump up and talk to them stood up also I couldnt sit in meetings i would feel panicy in the room and constantly feel like i was falling my boss likes us to sit around in a semi circle and when we do this i feel again like i am gonna fall off my chair.
2) I have developed the following about a year ago when i am on a bus i have to sit at the backseat if I sit in any other seat i feel panicy and when the bus stops i immediately start to panic i feel dizzy and like i am falling it is only when the bus moves that i relax i have to find something to fiddle with like emptying my pockets or i just start panicing A few weeks ago i had to sit at the front and we got into a jam i kept swapping legs and holding onto the rail and getting up i know the other passengers could see me as i got up to find a paper then kept jumping up to look at the queue then asking the driver if i could get off. I didnt used to have this although things have improved as i couldn't sit upstairs on the bus now i can. Anyone else have similar?
