People living with panic disorder will developed agoraphobia (an irrational fear of some situation or places that escape might be difficult if panic attack happen), Claustrophobia (fear of closed space) and Monophobia (fear of being alone) . For me I was fear inside elevator alone, go to shopping mall or public space alone, on train alone, in small room with a lot of smoker. When I felt panic attack will occur, I’m going quickly quit from that room/situation. And search some new fresh situation. This is automatically for a person to response from danger (fight or flight response). This is very big mistake to run for such situation, because panic attack might be coming again when person with panic attack on the same situation. So people with panic disorder might be comfort to stay at home, than working outside for traveling or meet someone else.

So why people with panic disorder avoiding some places or situation? People with panic disorder fear of felt at first time that panic attack occur (cannot breath, fear of nobody helping if something happen, fear of dying from heart attack) so they avoiding some places or situation that they think to trigger panic attack
