I finally have found the right section for me. Agoraphobia. Maybe this is where I would go that relates to the high level of anxiety I have. Rather than the kind a lot of people have and say is anxiety to them. It doesn't match mine at all.
I have it. I have trouble with anxiety on flights and travel. Sometimes less than others. I'm fine on elevators but sometime riding in a car is not easy. Funny deal. Thank goodness for Valium when I need it. I'm also fine at store, malls and stadiums but some struggle in theses spots. Alankay
Yeah I have the valium myself. I'm not fine at stores or malls or anything at all. But if I'm in a big crowd I feel so lost in the crowd sometimes that I don't have anxiety because no one notices me. Like I sat through a mass in New York at Saint Patrick's cathedral packed with people and I was fine. And at the casino SOMETIMES other's not. And in Las Vegas. But in places not so crowded I'm not as anonymous and I have too much anxiety, like in ANY store I go in. When I first started taking the valium I'd take it before going to stores and it put me in a nice daze and I was out of it in some of the stores I went in. And at others depending on the person I had to speak to the valium couldn't help me. At a concert or something I have tons of anxiety. But at ONE of the two I went to in the last couple years the anxiety EVENTUALLY wore off and turned into depression during the concert instead. I'm usually not fine at a casino at all. I took a tour of a church and everything was warped and so crazy and I was so anxious. Then I had to go to the same church one day with a family member for a bizarre she wanted to go to and I was fine. But when I had gone alone I was unable to do anything, to go in any room, to be there. Everything was so warped and I couldn't handle anything. This could become a really long post so I will just stop here.Originally Posted by alankay

Oh I rarely take the valium now. When I was first on it I took it as prescribed. Years ago. Never take it before driving. Also it caused depression.
