I am having a hard time with feeling insecure in my own home. I get anxiety and panic being at home. I am ok when I am at my bf's or at my moms or out with my friend Terry, but not when I am home alone. Even when my dd is home I still get anxiety. I force myself to leave my home so I don't have to face the fear. I have felt this way for about a month or so but I thought it would have passed by now and it is scaring me that I don't feel comfortable in my home. My home should be my safe place and I don't feel that way. I just really wish it would pass. Thanks for reading.
I hope everyone is well and feeling stable.

Tina,
I love you, girl!
I am new here but Boy! I can relate only I am the opposite. I feel safe IN my home. I have panic and anxiety attacks whenever I need to go out. I feel them coming on anytime I know I have to go out. I couldn't imagine feeling that way IN my home. One good thing though, at least there are places you feel safe. Although thinking about it now, the times I have trouble staying at home is when my house is cluttered. I guess for me it is cluttered house = cluttered mind. Before when I didn't have the energy or the mindset my house was pretty unorganized and I used to really have a hard time. I felt overwelmed by everything I needed to do and I could never seem to get them done because I had no energy or drive. So my house would literally cause me stress. Have you tried to figure out why you are feeling that way about being home?
Tina,
I'd definitely give the pdoc a call to see if he can't give you something for the anxiety.
