Hello,
I need some help; I find that I am out of my mind at the beginning of the day. Very anxious and phobic. I fight fear all day long, and feel driven to keep on doing things. Once I get one thing done, the anxiety starts up over another thing, I have to do that, and then another thing. I am afraid of them all, whether it's going for a walk or sometimes taking a shower, afraid I won't be able to push past the anxiety to get anything done.
This has some basis in my past, when I was housebound with agoraphobia for twelve years and then another seven years later. I couoldn't do anything then and had panic attacks daily.
My fear that pushes me to keep going when I should stop and rest is that I will be incapacitated by anxiety again.
I don't know if this is clear at all, but I would appreciate someone with similar experience responding. I need help in coping with this constant fear.
Thank you, and peace to all,
