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 there,

you are stronger than this.

you already thought about what is making you so anxious? Sometimes there's something going on with us that is hidden deep inside of our mind and heart. Sometimes minor things can bother us and we don't even know.

Go to a quiet room, take a deep breath and then you must try to figure out what is going on.

We're here to help you!

Do you have a therapist? If so, please call him or her and talk about this problem. If not, seek help. You shouldn't be suffering like this. Take care of yourself and God bless...

I am sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I think everyone have that sometime. Try to think about something else. I hope you feel better soon.

I would recommend xanax or atovan. Atovan saved me during my worst times 10-15 years ago. I still take about .5 mg of atovan a couple of times a week when I am particularly anxious, but over the years with the help of an excellent therapist I have become much healthier. I even do some public speaking on occasion now. So if I can do that, then you could find some general relief. Some safe medication and a good therapist.

Hey there. I am so sorry that you are terrified. Sometimes anxiety is triggered by a event or repetitive thoughts. Did something happen to set you off? The thing to remind yourself is that yes this is a panic attack. You have identified it. I have to remind myself whenever my anxiety gets really bad and I can't breathe and my body parts start going numb and my chests hurts because it feels like I am dying. Mentally talking myself through it helps a lot. I also take medicine that works wonders. I take Clonazepam and Sertraline. I have been getting way less panic attacks and they keep my anxiety at bay. I still spazz when I have to leave the house. Anyway I hope you get to feeling better. Big hugs.

    On Saturday, while I was at yard sales with my best friend, my lawn guy texted me that he did my lawn.  This costs me $70 every two weeks or so.  I don't have great grass so sometimes, he skips.  Anyway, I paid him on CashApp when I got home.  On Sunday morning, he texted me again, to say goodbye because he was moving.  My little thinking cap went on and I thought about how I am healthier...
