I got a severe case of it, I can't go out I can't even walk out the door.

I'm sorry to hear about that. For about three years, I could barely go anywhere. Now and days, it really depends on where I am going. Normally I have just a mild anxiety, but I still can go into a panic if I am either out for too long or traveling far away. I still suffer a lot when visiting my husband's family in the Midwest, which really bothers me because I am so close to his family. I often feel like my anxiety gets in the way of him having a good time with his family, and the guilt causes me to go off the deep end..

ever since i had my first panic attack on holiday years ago i cant travel far from home. if i go on a short break i get in such a state and have to turn round and go home. or i try and stay and i am just being sick and panicing, i think i fear of being stuck there and not able to get back home.
it has happend on a longer distance day trip too. and if i knew i had to go away somewhere say in two weeks i start to feel really ill in the days coming up to it.and then i cancel and dont go!.

Yep I have it too. I had a pretty good handle on it for a little while but I was still limited where I could go without a safe person with me and not go into a panic. Then we moved to a new city and I knew that I'd have to start over again. I was starting to verture out on my own but not very far and lately the panic attacks have been more frequent and worse. Even panicking at home. I can go anywhere with someone I trust but to go on my own is a whole other story. I'm working on it though. I hate it and I'm praying that one day I will be totally free of panic anxiety and agoraphobia!!!!

lilmomsie- You brought up something that I am currently worried about. My husband and I often talk about moving, which I find exciting but VERY scary at the same time. Our big goal is to make it to NYC, and i'm afraid that i'd relapse to the way I once was where I couldn't go anywhere and was in and out of hospitals. How long would you say it took you to adjust to a new city, or do you still feel a lot of agoraphobia and panic? I personally have never lived outside of Baltimore and it's suburbs, so moving would be an entirely new experience for me.

I suffered from agoraphobia 20 years ago and couldn't go outside my house to even to the mailbox. I had to be hospitalized. After 6 weeks in patient, I learned coping skills, got on medicine and thought I'd found a new life.
Now I am back to being agoraphobic again. I have been fired from so many jobs because of the attacks. I can go shopping but only if I'm with someone. I am scared to take my daughter anywhere for fear of having one. I am currently trying to lose weight and excercise in hopes that will help.
Hugs to everyone going through this.

YES I HAVE A AGORAPHOBIA AND I HATE IT. I WAS DIAGNOSED ABOUT 3 OR 4 WEEKS AGO. I REALLY MAKES LIFE ROUGH. BUT MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT WHEN THE DEPRESSION GOES AWAY, THE AGORAPHOBIA SHOULD GO WITH IT. I SURE HOPE HE IS RIGHT. I'M TIRED OF HAVING FIBRO, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND AGORAPHOBIA. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH. BUT, I WILL GET THROUGH IT AND EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT.
