Mr Fixit

Hello,

my name is Darren and i am a landscape gardener/ handyman. I started to get panic attacks when i thought i was getting sunstroke standing out in the sun - it turned out i think i was getting agoraphobia. Maybe i never had sunstroke at all. I can't tell anymore.

my job has suffered since. I only tend to do work for close friends. I just dont feel comfortable anywhere else.

I am now on The Linden Method (http://www.panic-anxiety.com). I have only just stated but i already feel a lot better. I feel on my way, but i was interested to see what communities are out there, I am glad i found this site, it seems a real breath of fresh air.

welcome mr fixit. i hope that you have continued success with the method and you can return to what you do properly. I love love to work outdoors.

Hello Mr Fixit. welcome to the forum. it is interesting to read your story. Like you, i don't worry about my anxiety at all when i am with friends. It is when i am on my own or with strangers that the fear comes and my mouth goes dry and i start to feel the symptoms of anxiety.

hello mr fixit great to see another fine addition to the forum
