I have had a long history of depression and anxiety but a lot due to abuse in childhood and bad marriage. Had years of counselling then 3 years training to be a counsellor.2 years ago Left marriage, deferred college, moved and renovated my home. Have never had attacks at home haven't had attack for over 3 years. Last 3 months have felt my life closing down not expanding and last month have had couple of panic attacks.I am not depressed and still feel positive about my life.
two weeks ago started to have panic attack about shopping being delivered and this morning was expecting someone to visit and had to get in the car and flee. Have never had one like this before and don't like to think that this is a new pattern. I have 'safe' person that I always trust and they do help but they are not always available.
Think I want to restart counselling but don't feel the need for meds.

Don't know why I'm posting really just hand holding and encouragement I thinkx

You have insight into your situation, which is a good start. Sort out counselling, you know what you need. And if you have to take meds in the short term that's not the end of the world either.
