I can barely go outside unless I am with people to get my mind off of those thoughts.

I can stay outside alone for roughly 10 mins or when my mind starts to wander. After that, complete panic and fear overwhelms me and I get the urge to run away to shelter. If the area is well-covered (Forested areas with lots of trees, or just being inside in general) I am completely fine. If the area is open, and I can see the sky clearly 100% of the time such as parking lots or a big open field, the feelings overwhelm me.

It's terrible, and the thing for me is I didn't have it until I travelled to Europe on a graduation trip, as I live in Canada. I started getting these feelings about midway through the two-week trip, and after that I couldn't even leave the bus half the time unless where we were going was inside.

I just wish I knew how to combat this better, as I can't find anything online and my doctor just classified it as "Anxiety" after testing me.
