Anxiety when home?

[Courtneykinns]

When im away or spending the night at other peoples house i feel great, the anxiety is gone. Maybe a few heart palpitations here & there & my heart can race, but nothing major. But when im home its so much worse, everything comes back! Right now im sooo tired, but i can feel my heart beat in my whole body right now & its keeping me awake. I hate being home now, im so carefree & happy when im out or away, the second i go home & it hits nights time, im miserable. I live with my parents too, so im not alone until everyone goes to sleep. But the anxiety always kicks up at home.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Mine is usually worse while I'm working. I feel better when I'm at home because I have a wife and two great kids. They keep me occupied so I cannot think about it. Problem is at home you know you are most likely alone even though your parents are there. You have nothing else to think about. Anxiety is a lonely condition. I also have times when I can feel my heartbeat through my whole body. Feel it worse when I exhale but don't inhale right away.

Yeah, i like getting out, it helps a lot. & if im with my boyfriend i feel good. Idk what it is, my house just brings back a lot of bad memories of anxiety attacks & being lonely. When im home i can never sleep on my left side because my heart palpitations go crazy. When i sleep at my boyfriends house i have no problem sleeping on my left side. Yeah when im away i dont feel many symptoms, when im home i feel them all.

I also feel less anxious when I go out!! It seems to calm me but as soon as I get home the anxiety hits like a ton of bricks...... Its bloody horrible. As I sit here right now I'm finding it very hard to draw a breath in :-( HATE IT!!!!!

Yes! When im away i rarely feel my anxiety symptoms. Like whats anxiety?! But when im home it all comes crashing down & i feel alone & terrible. I dont even know what to do anymore, im thinking of moving in with my boyfriend because i feel so great here. & i dont know if i can continue to suffer at home everytime im there.

You have to find yourself as good company! We are scared of ourselves in the grand scheme of things. Start my sitting alone somewhere in public with NO ONE that you know around. Then go home when no one is there. Sit in the driveway or out front for 5 minutes, then get out and walk to the door (slowly). Then stand right inside the house for 5-10 minutes, not doing anything. If you make it through that then woohoo you can be alone in that house.

I too have more anxiety at home in the evenings than anywhere else! I'll be fine at home then I drive home and can feel it building. Some nights are better than others but my symptoms are shaking like I'm full of adrenaline, shortness of breath and often feeling like I need to cry.
