Hi
I had suffered with health anxiety and panic attacks for so many years and was agoraphobic on and off for years too but beat it all after a lot of help and hard work. Have had a really good few years and I'm very grateful for that. I will always be an anxiety sufferer but I know how to manage it and now can't remember the last time I had a panic attack and how I feel or the worry of what if I panic is no longer the first thing I think about when I wake up. Life is good generally, managed to get myself a job which I love and that's really helped me too.
So why am I here?....the problem is I just can't get over the final hurdle, I want to be able to travel, I want to be able to get on a plane, train or bus by myself and go places, sounds simple but I just can't manage it, very frustrating when it feels like I've been released from the prison like grip of agoraphobia and panic, so much I want to go and do and I don't want to have to rely on my other half to take me. So why can't I do it :mad:?!
Answers on a postcard please :) x
