Hiya folks I haven't been on here for a long time and it's real nice to be back browsing this forum, makes ya feel a little better reading similar issues, I hope that doesn't come across bad?
I really have been struggling going out for a long duration and feel real uneasiness when I'm out, constantly looking behind me, to the side imagining things are there that are not. So it exhausts me so much I refrain going out the majority of the time.
Also hate getting in cars as a passenger feel like the car I'm travelling in is going to crash so I'm always on hyper alert when I'm travelling in a car(even my wife's car) I don't and have never driven. This totally impacts on my whole life as I can't take my young kids out feeling it is to much of a struggle. My kids are 8 and 3 which is another difficulty with my sensory issues.ive only been diagnosed at 50 I'm now 51.
The hypervigilance has gradually got worst over the last 5ish years or so. I feel as though everything is hard work at the moment, one good thing I've got a occupational therapist appt in a local Costa first thing in the morning this week when it's quiet.
When I'm at home I feel so much more relaxed and always feel so relieved to be home. I don't work atm and couldn't imagine working with all these struggles going on.
Kind regards garethx p.s any views would be most appreciated
