Hi Sam,I started with panick attacks @night time,after that I started having panick in enclosed spaces(tube,tunnels,lifts).as result I was avoiding them.after few years I was having difficulties with trains overground and buses.luckily the panick on the buses passed..last year I had a panick attack on the plane before taking off and now as result I m Agorophobic avoiding planes,new places,being faraway from home or being by myself@home. so yes over the years my anxiety/panick attack got worse even though I ve been on medications for all this years(10 since the first panick attack).really sadly my gp said that it s chronic now.but I hope I will learn to manage my anxiety someho or with the Cbt or meditation.

I started with Health Anxiety and have developed general anxiety over the last two or three years.

fear of death, disease, things falling on top of my head, sitting in cars, sitting in planes, trains, walking through the woods, walking on my own, going crazy, killing myself, being insane, having some weird disease, talking to people, not talking to people, being too thin, not being able to eat, feeling sick, the list goes on and on and on...I have been diagnosed with OCD (pure o), depression, alcoholism, panic disorder, GAD,...you are not alone...

who do you cope?

Basically everything you can think of I've been anxious about. Though I think I'm getting better slowly and the bad thoughts (that's what I call them) are less and less.

thank you all. x

How do I cope? Funnily enough even though I have the anxiety...I still do everything that I'm scared of...I just have the anxiety...it never stops me from doing anything...I can't be bothered to hide away from it...I used to drink loads! That helped...but don't do that no more. It made the anxiety worse...

that is fantastic that you dont let it get in your way. x

I suffer chronic emetophobia, panic disorder, depression and anxiety. I feel perhaps it's more of a mental state, however i'm not sure. Perhaps it's due to my insecurities. x
