Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety Support Group

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to their home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."

Hello Joanne. It always surprises me when activity happens in this forum. I gain considerable support in the generic "Anxiety" forum. It seems social anxiety seems to be a common symptom among most anxiety sufferers, in all the anxiety subsets. Many of us seem to at least go through bouts of agoraphobia. In my own case, there is debate on whether my fear of leaving the farm qualifies as agoraphobia. I don't spend much time indoors, but I sure get paranoid about all the human weirds **out there**, especially since the maskite invasion.

Whatever your personal slice of the anxiety pie, support helps with effectively managing the symptoms so that you really can, ". . .start getting on with Life," in spite of ^it^.
