For me it was the fact that I would always be slower than everyone else and I would have to put in twice the effort.

I suffer from combined anxiety, agoraphobia, and panic attacks. Going for a walk is a nice and relaxing thing for most people, but for me it's a battle from start to finish. I can't be too far from a "safe" place, like my house or my car, or I begin to have panic attacks.

I've had to come to terms with the fact that the outdoors are difficult for me and I have to constantly go against my instincts and force myself outside.
