    You just have to go out one time and do it to show yourself you'll be ok. I used to have to go to the food store or convenient store to pick up lunch before work just to show myself I was ok there so I would be ok at work. It gets easier the more you do it.

      That's normal, I've done that too. And it passes once I'm out in the open air. Nothing bad can happen, its just strange places and strange people you need to be alone.

    Hi Scorpio

    I can fully relate to what you are saying, I'm exactly the Same, if not worse.

    Before I would go to all sorts of places by myself, even travel for 2/3 hours on a train but these last few months even going less than 5 mins from my home feels me with fear.

    Sometimes if I'm with someone I'm ok but then there are occasions even when I do have company I have the fear factor.

    If I know I have to go somewhere by myself I try not to think too much in advanced about it as I then get myself all worked up about the what ifs.

    Everyday is a struggle but remain positive and you will overcome this.

    I wish you all the best
