I suffered from this for a long time. If I had to leave the house for anything anticipatory anxiety took over. Once I got out of the house I would be ok.
It stopped for a year or two and now that I'm weaning off meds it started up again. Fortunately it's not every time.
It can be very crippling if we give in to it. But, some days it is stronger and it's really a fight to push through.
Thank you for the post

Having Anxiety Does NOT Mean You Are Crazy!!!😡
Lets say that if you had one "Adrenal Gland" surgically removed, and it cut your anxiety by say 50 to 70%, would you do it ?
