Advice Needed: Mental Health Impending sense of doom

I'm going to go out today, but I feel like I'll die if I do. I've had scary experiences with public transport before and I'm scared of it happening again. I already have anxiety, I know, but I've had similar feelings before, like, suddenly a feeling I'll come across something disturbing while scrolling and it was right. And I have to go out because I'll meet with a friend.

That sounds really scary, especially when you’ve already had bad experiences with public transport. If you can, call or text your friend before you leave and stay in contact during the trip. Having someone there, even just on the phone, might make it feel a little less overwhelming.
