I have been suffering with a fear of going anywhere unless a bathroom is in vicinity. When I have an urge to go I experience panic attacks. When I feel I am trapped the symptoms become like irritable bowel syndrome I avoid going out because of this fear. Have been in psychotherapy for 2 1/2 yrs now to avoid medication. Was on Paxil for 12 years which helped with symptoms but was a zombie most of the time. Had a horrible time coming off Paxil so have looked for alternatives (therapy). It has helped but the symptoms still exist. Anyone else out there having similar problems ?
