Once again today I had to go out to the store which is about a block away. I had to go alone and I had another anxiety attack

I cried and cried and begged someone to come with me but they didnt and by the time I cried for 15 minutes and musterd up the stregnth to go, the store was closed when I got there.

An attack is worst off in its own self but people telling me "Go the store isnt far" "Just hurry up and go" "why are you crying" etc just makes it worst for me beacuse then I start feeling ashamed of myself.

I asked them "Dont you think I know where the store is? If it were so easy for me to go do you think I would still be here crying?"

Ive asked my mom to go to the doctor so maybe I could get some medical help for this but she hasnt made an appointment. I just wish in the meantime they would try to understant anxiety.

Share your stories too if you like I can feel the pressure already just reliving the situation in my mind.

A nxiety A wareness Dont be ignorant to what you dont understand!

Now im working on some kind of an newsletter with facts and sympthoms of anxiety so maybe next time they will understand why I cry when I have to go out to the store that "right there" and why I am afraid when there's "nothing to be afraid of"
