This month I've been doing a lot of exposure therapy exercises. Went to the groceries a lot, started driving on the freeway in short bursts, went to a park, and even visited a relative timeshare which is about 14 miles away from my house. The most challenging of these was the 14 mile drive, I wasn't driving, but it was a bit overwhelming.

Today, I did not want to anything, but my mom guilt tripped me to do a Costco errand because she can't drive and my sister is incredibly lazy. I drove on the Freeway this time but I didn't have panic attack while on it, I was actually thrilled that I handled it well. When I got to Costco all I could think of was that I was mentally tired and that I did not want to do anything.

I finished the groceries, but on my way to the car I couldn't help but to think that I was really tired. I also started feeling symptoms of full blown anxiety attack. I drove back to my house while enduring a panic attack.

Is this the agoraphobia coming back, or is this more burnout?
