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."

unknown fear

From the minute I wake up this overwhelming fear starts and continues most days- some worse/better than others. How can someone be so afraid of God knows what ?? I take clonazepam 1mg . 2 pills and try to breathe through it. Two more pills later in the day- max dose 4. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have a similar experience with fear in the morning. I do not know why, either. I find it hard to gear up and leave the house. And I am also on Clonazepam.

I do not know how to offer assistance, but I would sure love to discuss this with you.

Here is wishing you peace and love.

I can relate, I have some pretty odd fears as well at times. It's quite unsettling, it's usually before I fall asleep or when I just wake up. It's quite an odd fear really.

I think the best assistance anyone can offer would be to the ability to relate to what you're going through. You'll find so many people here who have been and are in your shoes. Know that things do improve in time, and having a strong mind and help from others like yourself definitely helps. Stick around :)
