I had agoraphobia for 6-8 months probably 8-9 years ago and it was dreadful! I experienced anxiety 24/7 as well as multiple panic attacks weekly. Do you have a therapist? Or ever tried exposure therapy? I know what you're going through.

Got a telephone consultation on Tues then they make u an appointment what exposure therapy

[Loveydovey0519 in reply to Tortoise68]

Exposure therapy is in a nutshell facing your fear head on. Whatever your fears or anxieties are you do them in small steps and 'expose' yourself too it. Anxiety, panic, agoraphobia, all are fear based things at their root. So you have to face the fear and overcome it. Definitely easier said than done, but it worked for me and it's a lot of hard work. But rewarding.

Looked it up and read about it did you do it yourself

[Loveydovey0519 in reply to Tortoise68]

Yes I did do it, and it was NOT easy and took sometime. However it worked for me, and it is certainly beneficial. If you would like more personal details about my story you can message me and I'd be happy to explain in detail.
