Anyone get the blues?

Hi to all my panic partners. I was wondering if anyone else experiences what I call the blues. I am really unsure of what to call it or what it is. It may come for a few moments or longer and sometimes once a day or a few times a day. It is different from depression the feeling. Perhaps it is a partial scared feeling which is part of panic.

I can relate. I get the blues every time my friends go on day trips which is out of my comfort zone. Due to my Panic disorder, there are certain places and means of getting there that I cannot do.

I don't travel on expressways which limits some of the places I can travel. If there is not a back road to get there, I do not go and living in a big city, there are only so many roads to travel that does not include the expressway.

Therefore, I get the blues often. This disorder is really isolating at times.

I hope you can get pass this moment of the blues. Holidays can have a greater impact on things.

Good luck
