Experiences with

Agoraphobia

I have been struggling with the Agoraphobia for about three years now. I have gone through a lot of emotional and mentally draining times during this with my husband and my family. I know that exposure therapy is supposed to be the best.

hi all 🥹 I’m happy to meet you all! im here because im in a season of life where I’ve lost almost all motivation to go outside 🥲 I really try to avoid it unless I have to go to work or social event. I have flashbacks of being sexually harassed every time I think of getting on public transport.

I'm agoraphobic on the severe side, but have only experienced for the last two years. Part of my anxiety disorder is genetically induced (maternal grandmother) and the other part stems from several difficult events that all happened around the same time: the loss of many precious keepsakes in a major

The more isolated I become, the worst the agoraphobia gets; which causes me to become more isolated. It's a cycle that I fear has no escape!

In my opinion, agoraphobia is a "learned behavior" stemming from panic attacks. I know I've beaten this before(but not panic attacks) but have forgotten how. Anyone else?? Thanx

Did anyone use it for agoraphobia?

When I was a child I developed agoraphobia and anxiety. It. got better but now in my late 60s it has returned along with a fear of driving limiting my life. I am seeing a therapist and anxiety and took a driving lesson last week. I am very upset and it has resulted in losing friends.

A couple years ago I was diagnosed with agoraphobia, panic disorder, OCD, social anxiety, and MDD. I used my faith as my strength in getting through my days and pray for strength to become a better version of myself.

Just feeling uneasy about my future everyday honestly whether it's my health, loneliness, social anxiety, depression, agoraphobia. Trying not to lose my mind in the overthinking rabbit hole of despair. I'm just feeling alone again.... Just tired of being scared all the time.

I’m now 26 and was diagnosed with Agoraphobia. Anxiety has always been there, but the agoraphobia has progressed over the last few years. Besides going to work, even thinking of leaving my “safe space” makes me sick to the stomach. Sweats, palpitations, nausea - you name it.

It's an unending battle with me and fear of so many things from social anxiety, loneliness, agoraphobia, depression and as I said what could happen in the future. I'm sorry I'm just ranting on. It's been awhile I've been on here to do that. I hope everyone is honestly having a good day. 🙏

haven’t left my house in 6 years is there anyone with agoraphobia that understands?

I have panic disorder and agoraphobia. They say that stress can cause heart attack takotsubo syndrome even if I have a healthy heart. I'm constantly afraid of being scared because of this situation, please help me in case I get too scared and die.

Just Curious

Social anxiety and agoraphobia keeps me from going out and being myself and making connections with others in my life. I don't mean to post a 'oh poor me' post again. But I'm just getting it out instead sitting here and and get more depressed.

I also sorry from agoraphobia server social anxiety PTSD and depression Honestly I don't even know when this phobia came from nor do I know how to get rid of it. But I find myself hearing this on a daily basis Any suggestions would help Thank you in advance

These days, the agoraphobia is mainly about going for medical visits. Ironic that something that is supposed to be healing and helpful causes this problem. Have always had ADHD even before the loss of my sister.

What do you do when your spouse drinks and is CRUELER than usual and you know you should get away but you fear for the cats, you had hip surgery last summer and still not that strong yet and now agoraphobia returns. Afraid to stay. Afraid to leave.
