Reply To: Anxiety

I know the feeling of not being able to breathe… or panic in public spaces like in the metro or on a concert. My anxiety attacks started when I had a job I did not feel good enough in (overburdened) and got worse after a break-up. It got to a point where I stopped going out. But then again, I am very social and like people. Although sometimes I build walls and do not like when others see me when I have a panic attack, I hate being alone. It was also the feeling of being alone after the break-up that made things worse. Like you, I panic about things I cannot control, as a response, I am a perfectionist in all things that I have control over. That gives me a kind of sense of security. What really helped me to be better was a change of job and a good friend whom I can trust. 🙂
