Re: Advice please!
Hi
So many feel the same way as you and this is classic anxiety behaviour.
I am sure anyone who has suffered from panic attacks could find there way out of a building blind folded because we know all the exit points before we walk in.
The exit point is not the issue
The issue is the thoughts you are having
So your at the exit=no panic
your 2 floors away from the exit=panic
Your mind is already thinking "panic panic panic" even before you get in the museum and all the what ifs are flooding your mind.
Remember at any point you can get to the exit
You are in control
I keep this in mind at all times
I am not trapped and I can leave or just go out for a bit if I feel uneasy but the more you stay (Oh and well done on the bus journey and shopping trip as I know that was difficult for you) The easier it will get next time.
