Hi there! I'm sorry you are so afraid. I understand unfortunalely. I hmsuffer from slight agoraphobia. I'm not housebound but I feel nervous going into stores and stuff sometimes. One thing I know is that the feelings of anxiety/panic feel very real... And the sensations are real BUT they are still only feelings and feelings aren't facts. You can't/won't die from these feelings. I think once you move and gave your fear (even though you may feel very uncomfortable) you will see that you CAN do these things and you will gain some confidence. I always feel satisfaction after I do something I was worried about (like a long drive or walking through a crowded mall). You aren't alone. I'm. It downplaying how bad the feelings are. TRUST me I have struggled so much with them... Lastly i wanted to point out that while anxiety can make you feel like your mind goes blank or that you can't think, you won't lose your memory or control over yourself. The feelings of anxiety are tricking us into fearing and believing that this can happen but actually anxiety can do nothing but scare us and make us FEEL bad. Hang in there!!

I was feeling like you a month ago. I moved from Atlanta to Cali. A week before it was time to move I was freaking out!!!! I was saying the same thing, that I was scared I would die or something was gonna happen to me before the move or during. My anxiety and panic kicked in full gear, and I was even second guessing moving because of it. Well it's been a month now and I'm sooooooo happy I faced that fear because I would be livid If I was still living somewhere I knew i wasn't happy to be because of my irrational fears. Now in Cali, happy, and my anxiety and panic make me afraid of absolutely everything here! Haha. Trust me you're gonna be perfectly fine love. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!
