I’ve been dealing with anxiety issues for the past few years but it’s been manageable to the point where it doesn’t impact my daily life but lately I feel like I need to go to my doctor for some help. 

I have had a few panic attacks over the years but that only ever happens if I’m stuck in bad traffic but then it puts me off giving anyone a ride anywhere because I don’t want anyone seeing me that way. 

Also as restrictions are lifting and there are more things happening I feel like my social anxiety is getting worse. I get a sense of dizziness even if I’m sitting down with friends for the first while and I’ve stopped going for walks with anyone because my legs go to jelly and again more dizziness. Tends to happen more if I’m in wide open spaces, like the thought of standing in a big field at a concert makes me feel anxious for days leading up to it because I feel like I will need to hang on to something because of my legs beginning to get shaky. 

I’m also going to a conference in a couple of weeks abroad and I feel like I will be quite anxious at this because I already feel out of my depth going as I’m not as experienced and it’s in another country. 

I don’t know whether I need something that I need to take when I know I’m going to have an anxiety attack or something I need to take every day to regulate things across the board.
