i have suffered for panic attacks and general anxiety for a number of years but i have noticed over the last couple of years things have got worse, all my symptons seem to surround the same things and are split into 2 catorgories, the first is anything where i lose control, for example planes, trains, traffic, lifts, anything where i cant leave makes me feel trapped and very anxious.
the second is that my wife or home seem to be my safety place, i get these feelings when were apart which seem mad but they are like if im dying how long will it take me to get back to her, for example if im travelling away from home i will keep checking how far away i am and in my mind i will be saying if we both left now i could be with her in 45mins or if she left her work and i turned around we could be together in 1 hour. this is getting to be a problem as my works head office is in yorkshire which is 2 hours from home and i have to go up there and stay over, the minute i leave i get tense and my symptons are irrational thoughts, tenseness, cant eat or sleep, breathing changes, visual changes, it's got to the point where i go to the hotel and when evryone has gone to bed i sneak home and then sneak back in the morning,this means a 2 hour drive back home for 1.30 am and then leave home at 5.00 am to get back for 7am before people get up and act like i've been there all night, this probaly sounds insane does anyone else go through this.
