Most of the time, I can't leave my house... When I need to go out, I go so early in the morning, and still get attacks.. I wish I wasn't so afraid.. I wish this never happened to me... I want to be able to live what people call a "normal life". when can I feel safe again?

Hello, totallyempty. Does your therapist know about how much you are struggling?

One thing that I've learned recently is Energy Psychology, It is very useful on what you are experiencing. It may seem really strange at first, but it does help. I just hope you can find a T to help you, if not, then it can be done on your own, as long as you have the motivation to do so. Good luck

I had to push myself through the anxiety. When it first came on, I couldn't go anywhere alone and I would avoid at all costs. However, through the struggle of trying to come off normal to my boyfriend, whenever he made me go somewhere I just sat through the anxiety and just let it come and go and come and go. It was terrible and stressful, but now, I'm able to go out alone ( I still have the anxiety, but I know how to handle what it does to me), I can go to social outings as long as I have at least ONE safe person with me. You just have to push yourself, because I have yet to find a T who has ever really helped me. Good luck, I wish you well!

I too go out early to get things done. I've come to the conclusion that at best, I just have to manage being extremely anxious and do it anyway.
