None of us ended up where we are in a day Chilled - anything worth changing is gonna take some time and effort and patience....
Some days you'll make great strides and some day little itty bitty steps, but you'll get there.
I think you have to right stuff to do it

Through what I have learned about panic / anxiety disorder it is the fear of fear that keeps that horrible feeling of impending doom alive . I know only too well what you are describing although I don't know the phobia you have . For me I also go down the spiritual route ( no specific religion ) . I too am seeking advice in a new thread as I just retired in march and I'm struggling mentally . To end in a humorous note I went shopping for clothes yesterday and came home with 3 pairs of socks as I couldn't bear to be among the sheer volume of thing to buy ,then there's the trying on part , no siree.
