Take a moment to breathe, take a water bottle with you and you can listen to your music whilst outside, take it all one step at a time.

If you feel extremely sick whenever you leave your house, it sounds like you have social anxiety. You can try exercises to help with that and take it slow.

well, you have to know what the root of the problem is first, this could be an allergic reaction or social anxiety, either way, going to see a doctor never hurts!

Bring water and remember to breathe, remember why coming home will mean so much once you get what you had to get done out of the house done.

This is an increasingly common public ailment in the developing & western world's. As like loneliness similar with isolation. Physical symptoms of leaving or when leaving the home occur. If you feel verging on a full
"Agoraphobia" which is rare and affects women more here are some of the symptoms to observe. The GP is the 1st point of call
With agoraphobia, you won’t go to places that scare you. If you end up in one, you can become very anxious. Symptoms may include:
Fast, pounding heart
Sweating, trembling, shaking
Breathing problems
Feeling hot or cold
Nausea or diarrhea
Chest pain
Problems swallowing
Dizziness or feeling faint
If it is not quiet this extreme but have irregular occurring & slight experiences; I would consider meditate after getting ready to set out for 15mins
Find appropriate relevant visualisations
Obtain a luck charm ( for excursions )
Call a friend before you open the doors to exit.
Through your regular GP UK nhs or private medical care......You could try cognitive therapy. It can teach you new ways to think about or face situations that cause panic. These new ways will help you be less afraid. You may also learn relaxation and breathing exercises. Sometimes your therapist may suggest exposure therapy, in which you try to slowly do some of the things that make you anxious. In this case like leaving the home comfortably

Sometimes it helps to breathe deeply and take notice of your surroundings, smells and sounds. Listening to music with headphones can make the situation worse, as it is an avoidance tactic and will make you more anxious of leaving the house in the future.

I can't necessarily give any advice on this topic as I am not a medical professional. However, I would suggest pinpointing the cause of the sick feeling and taking measures to prevent it in the future. If it is serious or could become serious, it may be wise to seek help from a medical expert.

Well you can start by asking yourself why? Anxiety is a tricky thing but it can almost always be helped! Try to figure out what exactly it is that scares you about leaving the house. Then determine if it is a real threat or just a fear of a threat. Chances are you are just working yourself up. Try turning leaving the house into a positive experience little by little and perhaps soon it won't bother you at all!

Talk to a doctor. If it's anxiety there's good medicines out there to help control the feeling of being watched, hot flushes and nausea. Also ease into it. Don't force yourself to go out for long periods of time but instead try 5 mins and gradually lengthen it. Go out with friends if it helps to have another person with you. Or block the world out (safely) with headphones. Baby steps.

To be anxious of leaving the house is a you reality and my feeling would be maybe to get someone who who walk with you. In taking small steps on at a time you maybe can get the confidence to go further. I think maybe a support group would be helpful too. This is a nightmare as home becomes a prison.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
