Hi everybody, I’m a 22 year old male that struggled with crippling anxiety going into middle school, it was very bad for about 10 months until I was able to pull myself out of it and live a normal life 7-12 grade and up until now. Not going to give my whole backstory but I was able to live a fulfilling life, hiking the tallest mountains near Me, free climbing urban structures for about 2 years, working out 5x weekly. About 3 weeks ago I had a random panic attack while going on a run and it was followed by a strong sense of depression. I’ve since devolved an almost agoraphobic feeling where I panic leaving my house, no matter when I’m doing. I even fear driving which is weird since I’m mechanically inclined and I’ve always felt calmed by driving especially vehicles I’ve built. I feel like I’ve become a shell of who I used to be and can’t seem to find my way out. I was a landscaper after high school but didn’t really enjoy it so I let that job go and I’ve been doing DoorDash when I can but I can’t seem to stay away from my house for more then an hour or two without panic. Has anybody else ever had this come up out of nowhere before? I know I’m not alone, I’d just like to hear from somebody that’s maybe been through something similar. I feel so confused about how this happened and why I can’t seem to help myself. Any experiences are appreciated
