Weird Fear
Anxiety Support / by Ferox

...See more First of all, this is actually very difficult to write about because I'm embarassed putting it on here even though I know there are people that have a similar problem in the world. So all through my teenage life I had very occasionally had 'stomach upset' to put it nicely, which would stop me from wanting to go to school or college etc, and I was worried about getting a job for more social related worries / natural worries like not knowing what to do etc. Then 2 years ago I had to go for interview training at a bank HQ and I just freaked out, had a stomach upset in a sort of classroom situation (in the bathroom but it was sort've like a mobile office so I was extremely uncomfortable) and started having heart palpitations and hyperventilating. I know now that it was an anxiety attack but at the time I didn't know. I then started a job where it started happening every week, so I ended up getting let go because I missed too many days. Anyway, to cut a long story short this is 2 years later and after being let go I started struggling to go outside at all, like even to the corner shops or into town to go shopping, and I'm basically still in that position. I think in the first year I managed to go out and socialise maybe once a week or two, and I've had a couple of jobs for very short amounts of time (just because of what they were not because of the anxiety). It seems so ridiculous but I like can't cope with the idea of not being around toilets 24/7, that I have access to in private, luckily I do freelancing but I need my life back. Anyone have any advice?
