I wonder if anyone else has major difficulty in public places? Recently I went out on my own and got into a confrontation with a security guard because I became really frightened. I suppose it came across as aggression and after a while it turned into a full-on major panic attack. They didn’t understand that it was mental illness and called the police to get rid of me because they felt I was causing a threat. Of course that just made me worse and it got to the stage where I was just crying and screaming. I am on medication but maybe not enough?
I don’t know what to do. I could not go out in public places for years and now that I’ve started to, I can’t really cope. I’m frightened to try again.
