Will I ever overcome the agrophobia

[Skeeble]

Hi all.

I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety about 4 years ago now. I've battled with it but had highs and lows too. I take medication for my depression and for the most part it's okay. I have worked so hard to overcome so many anxieties but the one that's stayed is this fear of going to other places.

It Started with agrophobia and I couldn't leave the house, but I pushed through and left but then I couldn't leave my housing estate, then the town.. Then I moved out town and have slowly managed to go further afield.. But all staying within the same county

I used to love holidays and days in London but, the thought of going abroad or even a day out in a city is terrifying and I don't know why. I'm so worried my life will be stuck to this one county.

Any advice??

Hi Skeeble, idon't know anything about agrophobia but You should give yourself a pat on the back for first getting out of your house and all the way out to your county.

All the best.

Hi Skeeble, give it time. I was Agoraphobic for 5 years never leaving my house.

When I finally was able to go out again, it was done in small stages. First not leaving

the security of my area and then expanding little by little. One day you will forget as

you are driving and then realize you've gone a longer distance than anticipated.

That's the day you will have broken that barrier between anxiety controlling you and

you being given your freedom. All in it's own time. xx
