its happened just over the last month, when i go out id be out for 5-10mins then this dread and panic comes over me that ive forgot to get dressed and i am walking naked.

happens every time i walk out the door, i really dont like it, i feel like i will black out in the shock. but then i realise im dressed and calm down but the fear and panic seem to stick with me for longer.

also last week or so i keep seing shadows and they startle me losing my breath for a second, is this due to my depression and anxiety?

Are you on any meds at all? It sounds like you are under extreme stress. You need to see a Dr.

yes, on fluoxetine and diazepam (when needed) had an assesment team visit on 22nd, have depression and anxiety. on the waiting list for psychiatrist. was just wondering if it is part of it and if any one else has had similar happen?

Has it just started recently? Have you increased your dosage? It could be a side effect of the meds?
Have you anyone you can call or see your Dr before the 22nd?
