Happy Birthday YellowApple22 and WELCOME!!!! Just wanted you to know you are not alone with the anxiety. The fears and worries seem quite common for panic/anxiety disorder. I too have had those issues with driving, taking a certain path, worrying about being helped, worried about work, what will people think....My breathing is the big issue with me. I think it all goes back to when I seen my grandmother on the night she died. She was dying from lung cancer and fought for every breath and that plays in my mind over and over...worried that it will happen to me. So I understand about these triggers.
I have been in therapy and learned some relaxing techniques. Do you have a therapist? It might be beneficial to you if you sought one out. It always helped me to talk to someone who understood and listened.
PC is a good place to find helpful people that you can share your concerns with and they understand. I know I have found comfort here.
Don't get discouraged if people do not respond to you right away. There is a vast of people from different time zones and countries so sometimes it seems like nobody is there but really there are many. Sometimes time can be a hinder....
Take care and keep posting...I think you will find it very helpful to share with people who share similiar experience. This way you don't feel so alone as you find your way....
Take care and once again Happy B-day and WELCOME....
Snowy
