At the end of my tether.

[Amy1603]

I literally can't escape my anxiety, not even in my own home!

I'm constantly nauseous, can't go outside for fear of being sick, or having to rush to the toilet.

After I eat I have to go to the toilet fairly sharpish.

I'm afraid to eat certain things incase I feel ill, and for the last few days have been living on soup and belvita biscuits.

I have an appointment for therapy in early april that feels impossible to attend, due to my agoraphobia and nausea.

I've been unable to attend doctor's appointments, and family planning appointments, despite knowing how important these things are.

I'm even anxious at the thought of having to wait for a delivery at home, just incase I need to go to the toilet while waiting.

Please help. This is all getting too much.

Hi

I no exactly how you feel & relate to what you say

I am waiting for some kind of counselling as well , but they already no that i suffer with agoraphobia & are coming to my home to start , can you not contact them I no it will be hard but explain just how bad things have got & tell them you cant leave the house & you need a home visit

You need to see the GP & like you i dont like leaving the house , its such a trauma , but now & again i have to , can no one go with you , you really need to tell them hun , or again , ask for a home visit , say you are to ill to come to surgery

I also dont like answeing the door , i have workmen coming in the morning & even though hubby will be here , one of the reasons I am still up , is the thought of it

Any bit of strength you have , try to get to speak to your GP , you can ask for a telephone call at most Surgerys now as well

Wish I could say more , but i do think & believe me I understand , you have to speak to your GP

Let us no how you go on

Love

Hi whywhy,

Thanks very much for your reply, it means so much that somebody actually cares and understands, i'm actually crying at the moment, something I try my best not to do,and something I have been doing more frequently lately.

I just don't have anyone to talk to, my parents just get upset and I don't want to worry them, and my boyfriend tries but can't understand.

I know I need to do something, but its just so hard to start down the path, you know?

I'm 23, and I can't cope with everyday life, and I desperately want a job, but I know it wouldn't be feasible at the moment. I feel so lost.

Hi Amy

I m sorry you are feeling this way.Last year I had the same problems,being home bymyself,going out,afraid of deliveries or workman coming in.I lost my job lately,that I found few months ago near home and now I still got the same problem..looking for a new job that is not faraway from home cause I m afraid to go to new places o far from home.I know agorophobia it s not good and affects our daily life..and yes I agree with whywhy,u shoud ask for somebody to come to visit you in your house that will give u a chance to get better for the time being.don t be afraid to ask and try not feel terrible about yourself,it's not your fault u got those problem...we are here if you need to talk

Lots of love

Hi Amy just wanted to send you a big hug. I understand just how you are feeling,I promise you it won't always feel like this. I've suffered anxiety all my life but as I've got older it has got easier but I've had a lot of counselling. I do hope you can get a counsellor to come out and see you as it really will be helpful for you. There is a free cbt course online called Living Life to the Full that you could try while you are waiting. Just google it,it helped me through some bad times. Are you on any meds at all?xxx

i had someone come to my home from my local mental health team which was helpful. i wouldnt make it to appointments if it was not for my mum as i just cant face going out alone. i havent even walked the dog in god knows how long becouse i just cant face it alone. luckily shes only tiny and we have a big garden so she gets a run around out there but dont want her to end up scared of going out like me. have you got anyone that can go to your appointments with you? x

Hi Amy,you are not alone in the way your feeling,I waken up every morning with nausea,I take motilium 10mg for this,on an empty stomach,after 20 mins I can eat my breakfast.you can take these 3 times daily,and they are great for the nausea.could you find someone to go out with you,a family member or your boyfriend,sometimes I have to rely on people to take me out,thats what anxiety is,councelling will help,so don't miss your meeting,speak out if you can't go alone,believe me we all know what your going through,let us know how your getting on.xxxxx
