For example ill be waiting to see my doctor and ill be having a full blown anxiety attack while waiting but as soon as im called up the anxiety instantly vanishes. I see this doctor every 3 weeks for my anxiety so I know the regular routine. Another example is me waiting in line for something like a store check out. I even have trouble with my job I pick up peoples groceries and deliver them and I would have anxiety attacks when im waiting but once its in my car im good.

My therapist is having a hard time finding a way to help me cope with it. I don’t have any negative thoughts while waiting or anything. When I have anxiety while waiting I think about the regular routine or try to distract myself but it fails 99% of the time. The quickest way to get rid of it is to be call or do whatever it is im doing.

Anyone else suffering with this and have any idea what can help?
