Why does it even exist

Anxiety has made me lose the desire at times to leave the house. I hate when it comes while shopping or communicating with people. Sometimes I say to myself why does this even exist? Where did it come from? Why did it even start? I want to be able to go again without getting heart palpitations or chest tightness and dizzy spells. Sometimes I wish it was a button that can turn it off

Who else goes through this while going out?

I do.. I dislike using my vehicle.. The same thing that happens to you happens to me.. But i've been fighting these feelings of anxiety so my symptoms have improved dramatically..

@AsherTree I hate driving so much. How have you managed to get over this anxiety if you don't mind me asking?

Sheer determination was how I overcome this.. At first I was shaking and my heart was racing,  but it got better after the 4th try, thank goodness! 🌲

@AsherTree yeah thats sort of how it has to go sometimes. Exposure therapy lol. Its horrible for a bit but I guess eventually it gets easier

@Zahara3 I experience this on repeat every day. The worst part is knowing that the anxiety itsnt helping, but feeling it and letting it control things anyway. Stay strong - you're never alone.
