Difficulty going out

Purple

Hi, does anyone else have difficulty going out?  I can just about cope with going somewhere quiet (monthly GP visits), but can't cope with going somewhere busier/unpredictable, I just melt down.

  • I can go out, but is almost always on my own, and I am only comfortable in my own space - I don't mind other people being in the vicinity as long as they are right 'on top' of me, and nowhere too loud.

    I have to get a train to work - and  always want to sit on my own/feel anxious sitting next to anybody, especially if I think they might talk to me - if I see someone form my workplace it causes my anxiety to go through the roof, as I getting very anxious about having to make 'small talk' with them - it is only a 15 minute journey but the scariest part of my day. Once I can get to work at my PC, i am in a  world of my own and feel 'safe'..
