This summer I was going to the dentist. That was the only place I visited. Other people go on holiday. And I am not able to go to the pool. The pool is outside the town. I am feeling weak, even if I eat many times per day. Anxiety makes me feel in this way. I can't be relaxed. My body is always very stressed out. I don't have the ability to relax now. I am feeling weak and mentally exhausted.
I would like to prepare to go to the pool, but I don't know what to do. I feel I am not prepared. Anxiety makes me feel weak and sick. Should I go to the pool? Even if I don't feel I am prepared? Can I prepare my body to overcome this fear? I fear open spaces and the pool is outside the town.

Some go to the pool and just dangle their feet for a bit. Little by little, you might become strong enough to go more often.

@dya80dya i have that also. I was taking paroxetine for a while and then stopped. I am not on any meds. I am trying now to learn to do things myself. It is not easy at all. What i do is a drink a vitamin water and a bottle of water when i go outisde. I walk close to home. After a good 20 minutes i start to feel more normal. The more you stay outside the better you begin to feel.

You can go with someone. I think if you travel with some person you will have less fear.
