Let me give you a brief - I fear going home, I am a working professional and I work and stay near my work location for 5 days and go home on weekends. Last year I developed health anxiety and I had panic attacks at home which I did not tell anyone and came to my work location next morning. I have a fear that my family would react differently if they see me panicking and they might panic with me. I don't want to see them tensed at all because I love them so much.
I have developed this fear over a period of time and now the situation is I got anxious even when I think of going home. I mean this is strange, there were times when I loved staying home and now I dont want to go even. My innerself wants to spend time with my family but my anxiety and fear stopping me from going there.
P,S - despite having all this I never missed to go there.
But I want to work on it and want to enjoy time with my family.
please advice.
