Can't even go out in public without getting scared anymore! What is going on!
Question: Can't even go out in public without getting scared anymore! What is going on!?
I am just useless in life anymore!. Take today!. I am off of work on Wednesdays, and usually use this day to get all my running around done!. I used to be so proud of myself for actually getting tasks accomplished!. Now I am having trouble just going to the grocery store!. There are stores that I would like to go to and things I need to get, but I always chicken out the moment I get ready to get into my car to go do them!. There have been times I have pulled up in the parking lot and had to leave because I started feeling a panic attack coming on!. I literally HATE leaving my house!. Yes, I do work!. I think the only reason I do ok with work is because I am familiar with the building and people I work with!. I just have a huge fear of being around people anymore!. Is there anyone else who feels this way!? How do you manage!? Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes! I use to go through this, and I still do sometimes!. It just randomly started!.!.!.!.when i was in a group of people i felt as if i couldn't breath, i would get dizzy, and get hot flashes!. Then I decided the only solution to my poroblem is to face my fear!. For example if I am ever afraid of going out, I'll push myslef to go out and just grab a water bottle along with me!. Here's the technique I use which really helped me!. I'll be walking towards a store, and i'll say "I give you permission to panic after 200 steps" (its kinda stupid but hey! it works!) By those 200 steps im 1/4 into the store and I realize nothing happened and I start to relax!. It really works! If you are out in public and feel an anxiety attack coming up just drink a little water and it'll cool you down!. Another thing is that you should stay away from coffee and too much sugar, instead have fruits and veggies!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
