A psychotherapist I saw asked me what would happen if I faced my anxiety/agoraphobia. He was trying to break it down and help me analyze what happens, but he was coming from the assumption that I would have an anxiety attack in public. But, I don't have an anxiety attack when I'm able to get myself to confront my anxiety in public (I do have anxiety attacks prior), I just sink deep within myself and barely function for a few days after.
I was wondering if this happens to anyone else? Not actually having an anxiety attack, but (what I best describe as) sinking within in yourself(depersonalization, maybe? I dunno).
Also, has anyone tried to face their anxieties, and if you did, what happened to you? Was it helpful?
Sorry if I didn't explain myself properly.
