Hi all.

I'm 43 and currently experiencing severe anxiety/panic atracks.

In particular, social anxiety and pretty much everything is a trigger.

I'm also going through perimenopause which doesn't help and possibly the cause of this hell.

I've been trying to take control of the symptoms and to some success.

I'm managing to do some normal daily tasks, such as nursery run, going into a local small store, and petrol station, and parks.

I seem to feel ok in open, outdoor settings but not with big supermarkets, clothes shops and pretty much most shops.

I'm confident that I'll brake this cycle but the struggle in the process is so overwhelming.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Also, what are your anxiety/panic symptoms.. .

Does anyone ever feel what I can only describe as weird during an episode?

I find I go quiet and feel so tense and on edge. A kind of frozen feeling... is this normal?

Thank you!
