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."

See if i talk about me.Before DS i was really scared going in public i would even hesitate going infront of the guests who visited us.But now i won't say that my fear has cmpltly eradicated but surely it has reduced a lot.I feel the key here is patience.DON'T GIVE UP.Jst hold on and trust me things are gonna change.
Watch a movie by the name of "CAST AWAY" you'll feel better.

if you havent already, call your dr immediately and get help. yes it can be fixed with the proper meds and a good dr. these types of illnesses are usually caused by chemical imbalances in our brain and with the proper meds can be corrected.
like i said, if you havent done this already, call your doctor today......
