I don’t want to leave the house

I never thought I had anxiety. I didn’t believe I suffered from it, and I’m still not completely sure.

I have never liked leaving the house but I always just thought that was because I was anti-social. Now I realise that I never leave the house and when I have to I find myself dreading and worrying about it. When I have work I get extremely worried about it and I start shaking and feeling faint!

I dont think the ’anxiety’ is bad enough for it to be serious because everyone get anxious about work and dreading going in because you just don’t want to go to work. However, today when I went to walk my dogs I stood at the door and realised a wave of fear fell over me! My heart was racing, my hands shaking and my legs going weak! I noticed I was scared to even step foot out the door and walk the streets!

I think my anxiety is getting worse!
