Good afternoon
i'm Az from the UK. First time joining a community like this and i'm looking for help on my anxiety disorder which has ruined my life for the last 6 years.
Now i'm not sure if this is agoraphobia or travel anxiety. In summary I suffer with cfs/me which limits me on how much I can do in a day due to extreme fatigue. I was a reasonably health man before diagnosis 5 years ago. This lead to anxiety and mild depression. I can function reasonably well but I suffer with intrusive/racing thoughts. The reason I haven't travelled to another country in so many years is I believe due to fear of uncertainty or unfamiliarity - thats what my therapist said. Add in cfs/me and the fear of not being able to get to a safe place (normally my home) and it's a perfect recipe for GAD. I'm seeking help on this matter and how to overcome this as it's the only thing stopping me from living my life.
Thanks
