Discussion Agoraphobia

[Crow_88]

Just looking for anyone who may be suffering from severe Agoraphobia. It's taken over my life and I just want to see if anyone else has this as bad as I do. It would be nice to share with someone to maybe feel a bit of hope over the situation.

I suffer from it too, I managed to train myself to do the ride to work and back home from work without too much anxiety, but anything else is hell for me... I wish I could give you encouragement but Ive been fighting this for over 10 years and im also reaching my limit... no social life, no love life, I literally have nothing to talk about outside work and the books and series I enjoy in the safety of my room... the thing that worked for me the most was a combination of meds and therapy, with those I felt brave enough to challenge myself and go outside to do different things daily and I actually got quite good, even socialized a bit, best way to erase agoraphobia is doing what you fear, but we both know just how hard that is... I send you a lot of strenght and support from my side, the fact that you are still here means a lot, I know you try hard even if other people may see a lazy person I know you are trying...

Thank you I really appreciate your words. It's very hard not to give up altogether. i have an appointment on the 9th and i need to walk there. i'll have someone on the phone with me, so hopefully that helps. You start to go crazy after a while staying inside all the time and not socializing,
