panic upon leaving the house? That's new.
« on: July 06, 2012, 06:50:17 PM »
So I've had a really rather weird day today!

I had a massive confrontation with my dad regarding my treatment and my reluctance to register with a new GP. He went as far saying I was being irrational (which hurt) nd that he didn't care how I did it but I needed to get my act together. He proceeded to ask when I said I was fine , out of anger and wanting him to leave me alone, why then was I going to councilling and taking medication. He also asked if I even wanted to finish my degree at all which was just spiteful as he knows how much it means to me and if I had my choice I would not be taking a year out.

Anyway, I digress,

The weird thing is when I left the house with my brother and his partner to go into town for a change of scenery it was awful. As soon as we got into the busy town centre I got a bit panicky and knew I wanted to go home. I didn't feel like myself at all and started to get trembling hands and get all hot and bother like on would during a panic attack. I was so relieved when we got home. Perhaps it was the fact that I haven't really left the house for a couple of weeks but it was quite a horrid experience. It's also a problem I haven't really had anymore as I hated more than everything being around all those people and I couldn't take the noise.

Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, how do you cope with it as if it continues it is going to make daily life extremely difficult. Your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I hope this finds you all well

It sounds like a panic attack and I can be plagued with them sometimes especially when I have agorophobia. I am prescribed medication to help with them so do register with your doctor if you possibly can

I suffer from terrible social anxiety when my depression is at it's worst ( which it has been for 2 years !!). I get palpitations, shallow breathing, sweating and I shake horribly from head to foot.
I don't often leave the house at the moment ( which is so hard considering I have 3 children!).

I'm sorry you have to go through this, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I to suffer with panic attacks, the first one I had was before I realised I had depression. They are very frightening. Feel for you. S x x x x

Thanks everyone,

I think that's what it must have been as it did feel my heart was about to beat out of my chest. Even now I'm still trembling.

I shall bite the bullet and register with new doctor on monday as my medication will run out if I don't.

Thanks for your help.
