Out of the blue i get panic attacks in situations where i would normally be ok! I also feel lightheaded when im out and about. Has this happened to anyone else where you feel you are coping and this awful anxiety and fear sweeps over you? I dont think my broken sleep helps plus having a phobia of open spaces dont help either but that is another story i have always had that. Are there anymore agrophobics out there? I do go out but hate open areas x

      Some other sensations that almost made me go into panic mode. I talked myself through it. I literally feel like I have a crazy on and off switch on my back that someone keeps flipping to the on crazy side.
