| Moving to Canada was a lot more stressful than I imagined it would be. The trauma of moving shocked me so badly that I developed agoraphobia. I was a bit on the agoraphobic side before that but now I am trying to overcome a bad case of the basketcases. The first two months, I could not leave the house for anything. Now I can get out a bit, but even the idea of going to a neighbour's house fills me full of anxiety and I have experienced a few mini-panic attacks. They especially are troublesome when I have caught a cold. For some reason I get them when I catch a cold and I have caught the first one of the season. It's not even cold yet. |
