Anxiety and then having a panic attack on top of that wears me down from time to time. Going out in public like shopping or attending a self-help meeting sends my body in high alert mode. Then when I come home to unwind, I feel like I just went through some kind of massive ordeal...hard to describe, but I'm fatigued and mentally spent.

I do like to get out and about. It would be nice if it were easier to do. So I do it anyway and I just put up with the anxiety symptoms.
