Hi with anxiety always remember you are what you think so choose thoughts carefully,your thought is once i get home im fine so somewhere you store in your subconscious that you are worse when outside,this then feeds your anxiety when out and makes it worse for you,i know as i have done this many times over the years,and as a result found it harder and harder to go out at all,your thoughts create anxiety and anxiety feeds on your thoughts,keep going out,and know you can handle your anxiety wherever you are,this is the key to getting better
Hi Curtis33, It's a form of Agoraphobia. It started for me with one severe panic attack in a store which made me associate the store being the cause of my anxiety. From that point on, every time I went out, I would feel apprehensive which would just make my anxiety grow. I ended up staying in the house for several years before I realized it was my negative thought process that was doing this to me. I turned to meditation and deep breathing and used that to relax me both in the house and then outside. I am once again free from being held captive in my own home and am able to venture out w/o any fear. Small steps at first will turn into positive feelings. Good Luck!
My agoraphobia does that to me. I had two severe attacks in public that were extremely humiliating and scary so now every time i go into a public i get dizzy like i wanna pass out and i cry. Sorry for ya!
Hi, yes don't worry it won't be permanent I was the same a few weeks back. I was ok at home but soon as I went out somewhere I felt dizzy. I did have it for sometime n I thought 'great I'm gonna AV this all the time now when I go out' I knew it was my anxiety and nothing actually wrong with my brain or anything, so I didn't panic or worry about it and just got on with my normal day life and wasn't gonna let it ruin my daily life, and one day it just stopped . I think because I wasn't worrying about it it settled down n passed 😄 I hope this has been helpful to you X
