I don't think there's anything specific that precipitates this, it just sort of happens. I think it happens more often when I'm alone. It usually starts around the time that I wake up and lasts for a day or a few days. I don't know if there is any one thing I'm afraid of in other people. I have many different scary thoughts (e.g. are they judging me, are they dangerous, did I offend them, are they talking to me or about me, are they following me, are they undercover police, is there surveillance here, are they spies? Etc.)

Unfortunately, some of us have several different things to struggle with, and it sounds like you have bouts of terrible anxiety.
I still do to an extent, but used to a great deal more, have trouble leaving my apartment --I have a lot of anxiety associated with PTSD.
I'm sorry you're struggling with this and hope you come out of it soon!
