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."

I am continuously troubled by the thought or maybe anxiety that will there be anyone apart from my family who would actually care for me and understand me.This thought troubles me a lot and sometimes i feel so depressed that i am unable to concentrate on my work.
I would love to hear from you guys and if you also felt this way.Waiting for your replies.....

i can relate to this worry but i think its a positive that you actually have a family that care and worry for you, many people dont have this,
do you have firends you spend time with - if so i'm sure they do have concerns and empathy for you - if not maybe this is what you are misssing in your life
tell us a little more and see if we can help

Sure, I even struggle with confiding in my family with my anxiety and depression issues. It's really tough when the people you need so badly for support are part of the problem!

I hope you feel better. I know that in addition to your family, there may be people in your life who care who you may not even be aware of.
It is very hard to spot the positive things or people when suffering with anxiety or depression. I know from my own experience. This was a tough weekend and I did not feel like too many people cared about me at all, but I did get out to see family for a little while.
Just try to hang in there as bad as the anxiety can feel and remember that things don't remain the same. Feelings change and positive people may come into your life, as well.

As someone who came from a family that cared little and a very small family, I can tell you ,you are blessed. Family should be our #1 support and you have that. There are millions of people who care, here in the US (i dont know where you are from) in 2008 over 54 million $ were donated,that came from caring hearts so please dont doubt , have faith and enjoy what you do have my friend.{HUGS}}

I don't think there is anyone out there INCLUDING my friends and family (not close to anyone) care for me. I feel totally alone, and it is what I wanted so I can't complain.
