Nees advice on my phobia/mental health
1. whenever I wear something that is closing my face/neck, I feel breathless and want to get out of it asap. Like helmet, high neck tshirt, thick scarf around the neck.
2. if I am still at home and someone locks me in (eg. when I am still bathing and my husband has to leave for work, he locks the door from out - which I can still open from inside when I have to go out), I feel anxious and run to the door to open it again and lock it back myself.
3. in recent visit to a swimming pool, after about an hour when a lot of people started coming in the pool, I got very weird and immideately came out of the pool. I felt suffocated seeing so many people. I have not faced issues when I am in any public place like malls.
There have been few recent changes in my life, like:
1. got married 1.7yrs back (to long time boyfriend). Had never lived away from parents before. 2. moved to another city with husband 1.5 yrs back. 3. lost father in law 3 months back. 4. my mom& dad's health is not keeping fine

Dear,.
