I am afraid of being "trapped" in a crowd. For example, I never go to movies because I am afraid to sit there for two hours or more. I don't like any situation I cannot control or make my escape. What do you suggest; I know this is ridiculous but I can't seem to help it. JLJP

Hello it is sad that you think your illness is ridiculous, if you had a broken leg pneumonia you would not say that and no one in this group would say that. You have an illness that many people do not understand i have been told get your coat on we are going out, if i had any other illness they would not be sayoing that.

Have you asked for help of your doctor or family member or if a member of a church you could talk to.
The little steps you take at first will seem like you have done a marathon, and i will not kid you ot is hard work and you may slip back as i have done many times as of this moment i have, but once you have seen therapost doctor they will teach you how to cope when you have panic attacks. So i hope you do see someone as i did not for years know why i felt like you it was stupid why can i not step out of the door eventually with help from therapist and my dear late husband i manage somehow but it does take time so please do not beat yourself up. Goddnight sleep well take care x
