Anxiety/Panic disorder help !
I have been struggling with crippling panic attacks lately all throughout the day. I've been sick for two weeks (in touch with my doc) and with all this virus scare it just has my anxiety through the roof ! I tend to focus in on all the negative and bad things and l especially focus on the physical sensations that there attacks bring me. I can't seem to get out of it. I would love to find people who suffer as I do that I could talk to or anything that anyone can share to offer some bit of help I'd really appreciate it. I'm pretty much just homebound now because I'm scared to be out and around people.
@Hypnotiq I'm sorry that you have been dealing with so many intense panic attacks. I understand that the news of the virus scare would make you more nervous than usual. A lot of people around me have been on edge because of the scare and my anxiety has risen because of everyone else's stress.
But it sounds like you are doing everything that you should be doing in this situation. I'm glad that you have been in contact with your doctor since you started feeling ill. I hope that having this communication with your doctor helps ease your mind a little. I also think that you shouldn't worry about being homebound right now. Sounds like that's the best thing for us to do with the virus scare and keeping indoors can further ease your anxiety about this situation.
