I'm glad I've found a place where people will understand me.
I'm terrified of leaving the house on my own. I often feel nauseous, dizzy and disorientated when I do go outside and my hands shake. I panic whenever I even just think about leaving the house.
I've managed to go out on a few short walks on my own which last only about 5 minutes. As soon as I get in I just cry, most times until I fall asleep.
I can't stand to be in busy places with lots of people around me. If I go into a crowded shop I feel so disorientated and I can't focus on anything. My legs start to feel weak, like they can't hold me up much longer, and I can't think of anything other than getting out of there.

I'm scared of falling over in public. I panic and worry about what would happen if I did fall over. I can't stop myself from worrying about whether people will laugh at me or will they just ignore me. Will anyone help me if I do fall? I'm also scared that people will steal my things if I did pass out in the street.

I'm out of work right now and the only thing I want is to be able to get a job.
A lot of the time it makes me feel like such a failure. I feel like my partner will leave me, even though he's been so patient and supportive. I couldn't ask for anything more but sometimes I don't think he understands how hard it is for me just to leave the house.
My next step is trying to get to the doctor to see what help I can get.

Thank you to everyone for posting how it affects them. You are all very brave for trying to overcome this and I wish you all the best of luck.
