Earlier on this week, I decided to go to Manchester on the bus.

I haven't been out by myself for a while, so I was a little nervous about it.

Well recently I have been visiting forums and people have been talking about how they are the victims of rape and such, and before I set off I was almost not going because I was so afraid I would get raped in Manchester. And when I was on the bus, I was afraid that it was going to crash, I always get scared on those buses because they are express buses and they go on the motorway but they have no seatbelts. I was nervous all the way. It definitely wasn't a panic attack or anything, but I was breathing faster and my heart was beating faster all the way there. Again before I set off, I tidied up the house in case I didn't survive the journey.

And when I got off the bus, and I was walking around the centre, I was nervous because I was scared I would get attacked and raped. So I didn't enjoy myself and I also didn't find anything to buy . I again disliked the bus ride back because of my crashing fear, and was only happy when I was back in my home town.

Do other people get like this?

Is it a mild anxiety disorder, or is it just imagination?
