I've developed anxiety and agoraphobia on the past few months to a degree I've never had. It's really been a struggle. I'm on medication and see a therapist,but I'm shocked that this has happened to me. I've had depression,but this is way more challenging. Any advice?

maybe thinks why this increase anxiety and agoraphobia has arised so you could possibly address the root of it . Also while I was depressed I had a lot of anxiety it was a cycle of depression and anxiety for me . Maybe the thing that is causing you depression may also be causing this increased anxiety ?
Hi EastCoastCityGuy, I too have suffered with overwhelming Anxiety that went into
Agoraphobia. I never left my house for 5 years during that time. However, I continued
working on my issues with a therapist in order to address the deep unresolved mental
state I was in.
Medication as well helped but the "key" was finding acceptance in the physical symptoms
I was experiencing as well as eliminating the mental fear. I did this in finding new releases
for my fears. I started Meditation and Breathing exercises 3x a day. I used Affirmations, Imagery and Self Hypnosis. I retrained my mind to no longer accept negative thoughts.
YouTube became my "go to" in learning through their helpful videos. It's been years now
that I no longer suffer with immense anxiety or agoraphobia. I won. I released the grasp
that anxiety had on my life and it's amazing.
I am here to help any others follow a new path in controlling their lives once more.
It is possible. xx
