So just today I went through one of the strangest, and scariest things I have ever experienced. I had started to feel claustrophobic in my own house, to the point that if I had not gotten out of there when I did I quite likely would have had a panic attack and gone crazy. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you cope with it so it didn't happen again. I don't want to feel like I'm in a jail cell in my own house because of this secret that I'm not ready to reveal to everyone.
Have you got anyone at all you can confide in? You need to find someone you trust to be open and honest with. That will, likely relieve some of the anxiety causing your claustrophobic panic attack.
You really sound like you need someone to talk to, do you know of anyone you could tell? If it helps, try going for walks, they often do help some.
I have a few people that know, and I left my house to go to a friends place. My friend is one of the people who knows about me.
I second the above advice. Yes, I feel this way all the time. All the time. Mostly, I just try to either go outside for some fresh air, blast some rock music and lift some weights, or seclude myself to meditate. Hopefully your friend can offer you solace and reprieve.
