hi, i was just wondering if anyone gets anxiety or panic attacks on buses or trains, thats were my worst fears lie. Im 17 and it all started in january of this year i had my first full blown panic attack on the bus on the way to school and ive been scarred ever since. Ive had CBT but it hasn't helped at all and im fearing that i am progressing to generalised anxiety disorder, which i really dont want to happen as im due to start university next september and i feel if i am continuing in the vicious circle i wont want to go. my therapist said that anxiety on public transport is common but i am yet to find anybody who feels the same as me, i cannot go on buses too school or any other journey, i am fine getting them home as i think to myself i'm going home and it'll be ok and im not under pressure time wise. I finished my first course of CBT and now i am on my second course with a different therapist in a different doctors i have missed two appointments and am terrified to go as i really dont like speaking to people either, i just dont want this to develop further and need some tips on how to nip it in the bud.
sorry if this doesn't make any sense its my first post and i dont have a clue what im doing on here, some advice on this would be really helpful thank you finding it really difficult at the minute.
