Anxiety is ruining my life, I'm so physically and mentally drained. Constantly anxious. Scared of everything. Don't want to leave the house, don't want to see anyone, scared of everything, constantly taking panic attacks. I take panic attacks and feel really anxious even when I don't know why. Always hyperventilating, feel like I can't breathe, I've seen the GP, been on medication , completed therapy , I don't know what to do anyone. Is anyone else in the same boat 💔💔💔 I want to feel normal

Regulate&rewire podcast, if you implement some of her suggestions they've really truly helped me.
Can you go out walking with head phones on and listen to this? Means you're getting some fresh air, gentle exercise but blocking "the world" out and don't need to see people.

Yes I have similar, mine is from cptsd and ptsd. My world is very small and very lonely, it’s like I have to watch the world going on without me and I can’t be a part of it. Everything also scares me and I’m constantly on the edge of fight or flight. Much sympathy OP, it’s exhausting and debilitating isn’t it.
Any idea when yours started and what triggers it?

I'm in much the same shoes, OP.,
