Diagnosis?

My palms are sweaty and my stomach has butterflies. All because I am going to the kids' school to help Megan sew in an hour.

This starting happening to me a few years back. Anytime I have to go do anything I chicken out.
On the View the other day, Linda Dano said part of her depression will cause her to back out of appointments and dates she has made. She sounded so like me. I don't think am sure I don't have depression. So why does the thought of leaving my house make me so nervous????

I have considered that I have agoraphobia (fear of leaving your house) but I don't mind leaving the house WITH someone else, a kid, my husband, etc. I just get nervous when I have to go alone. I soooo never used to be this way. I loved going and doing stuff on my own and trying new things.

Once I get to the activity I am so glad I went. I have fun and the nerves disappear.

When I have to do something like teaching a class, I have no nerves at all. That is a breeze for me. I am weird, I know...

***UPDATED to add: I haven't given up on myself by any means. I am taking steps to keep myself going and doing things. This weekend I went sledding. Normally I wouldn't have. Then today I went to sew even with the nerves. I will keep pushing myself.****
