Paralyzed

I was taking the garbage down to the curb tonight, it wasn't even fully dark yet. And I got halfway down the driveway and froze. I literally could not take another step forward because of the raw terror in the pit of my stomach. I had to come back in the house and tell my aunt I couldn't do it. I've never been this bad. I'm scared to death. And the thing is.. That was hours ago and I feel the terror inside all over again. This is ridiculous. I am an adult. And I absolutely could not do it.

Sometimes I know my anxiety doesn't make any sense to me. My heart goes out to you, I know how scary panic can be. Hang in there things can get better. I used to have bad panic attacks but haven't had one now for years.

Learn how anxiety triggers panic in overwhelming sensations to help you breathe your way through the fear.
Hang in there!

Anxiety sucks, and it sneaks up sometimes for no reason. I know what you mean about it never being quite so bad though. For example, I have stayed overnight by myself before. However, last week, my family members went to the mall for about 2 hours from like 6-8pm and I panicked being by myself. It was so weird, I couldn't understand it.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
