The fear of having a panic attack
Hi, I'm 22 and have been dealing with anxiety since 17. My partner and I have been together for 4 years but we both come from different countries. I'd like to move to his with him but I'm scared it will trigger a panic attack. I experienced my first panic attacks when in his country. I'm so scared of having a panic attack I can't even go there totry to overcome the situation.. I don't know how to go about this. If anyone has ever moved to another country they may understand and I'd like to talk with you.. thanks for listening.
Hi Zoe,
It's really common for people with anxiety to worry so much about having panic attacks that they actually cause themselves to have one! I understand that you're feeling panicked in this time of transition. Sometimes our anxiety stops us from doing things that we really want to do. Can you talk to your boyfriend about your fears? He may be able to help you answer some of the questions that are likely swimming around in your mind.
