Agoraphobic

[bribrunerjaime]

Hi I’m Brianna, I’ve had Anxiety and Agoraphobia since I was 18. I’m currently in therapy at my local behavioral health center. It is the worst thing I’ve ever went through. I can’t get very far from home, so I’m not able to do much. Plus there are no support groups for this around where I live so I can’t talk to anyone who might relate to me.

Hi Brianna. I have anxiety and OCD. Mostly about stupid things and thoughts that might never even happen.

I was agoraphobic for 14 years. I didn’t leave the house. I had to over come it myself. No doctor would make a house call. I mostly used self help books and Zoloft. Be patient and set small goals. Things get better. I am panic free.

Wow that’s awesome congrats on that! I do go to therapy but am apprehensive about meds. I was able to overcome it years ago only to fall back into about 9 years ago. Do you have any suggestions about books I might get some help from?

Mind you the second book is from 2003. Best of luck in your recovery.

Hello there, well I also think I may have a OCD as well, but the one that causes the most anguish is the Agoraphobia for sure. I have missed and am still missing so much because of it.
