anticipation

I have figured out that my anxiety starts to come on whenever I am anticipating something...like a doctors/dentist apointment or something even smaller such as knowing I will be leaving work soon to go home. I think its the change in scenery that really gets to me....I hate change and I like things to always be the same. I like things to be organized in my day and I dont like deviating from the plan.

I live alone and sometimes it really helps to have nobody here when I am having an anxiety/panic attack because it means I dont have to worry about anyone or take care of anyone. But on the flipside I get anxiety because I am alone at home and worry that I am going to die alone LOL

So I guess its a lose lose sorta situation....I need to think of a way to stop feeling so anxious when its time to start a new task or leave to go home. Any suggestions?

Wow your situation is so much like mine. The part before is the worst for me. Whats even more fustrating is after the dreded situation passes I then start kicking my self for getting all worked up for nothing. Making apointments are the worst cause you get to spend the month looking at the callender date.

Anticipation they say is living in the future.

Yes I definitely agree that I need to have more contact...its just finding friends who understand what its like to have anxiety attacks and constantly feel anxiety. I am a legal assistant and work with both of my parents.
I guess yes life would be boring if it stayed exactly the same...Im usually ok with stuff as soon as I can acclimate to my surroundings...its just knowing something will change.
My panic attacks are a new thing for me recently. Im still learning little things about it and myself and still learning my triggers and ways to deal/handle with it...if only there was a manual on how to handle life LOL

accept yr situation. Change is part of life we all have to deal with chnage on some level. Like my therapist is going aawy for a month. Now I get to see somebody different. Now I have something new to be anxious about. I get anxiety with change anything new but what can we do its part of life. Sounds to em like u could do with having more conatct in yr life. I'm glad i've never been alone to suffer panic attcaks cos they're crippling. My last severe panic attack took me a whole month to recover from. What sort of work do u do? wouldn't life be boring if everything stayed the same.
