Q: agoraphobic / anxiety attacks

Iv been an agoraphobic for 4 yrs. I have just recently been experiencing panic attacks again, I think it's because I just moved to a different state and I feel so misplaced. I also fear The next day, month or year. I cant seem to get focused on "right now". I have been so scared lately. I cry a lot and I also go to the bathroom a lot because of my nerves. I really need help with my anxiety. Is there anyone that has any good advice? I appreciate it.

You really need to consider going to see a psychiatrist. Treatment is available. Anxiety is a perpetual type of disorder and, for many people, it will persist until they get some treatment. Speaking with a therapist that is experienced with anxiety disorder may be very beneficial for you.

You are not alone by any means. I am with you all the way. In 2003, I had some surgery that led to complications with a major infection. I spent 17 days in the hospital, when it should have been an over night or at most three day stay. When I got home, I found that I not only was priveed to my usual anxiety and panic disorder, but now had to face agoraphobia due to the fear of germs! Yes, I did not go out of the house for almost a year. I would not go for help at that point. One day I just got up as in any other morning. Looked around my apartment and said "NO! This is not going to happen to me"! I called and made an appointment with my doctor and asked if she would up my doese of medications untill I fought to get through this horrific battle and she did. Little by little taking baby steps I would go out the door, down the street, to the store untill I finally know I was getting my life back.
You have to do the same thing. There is a world out there waiting for you and you need to live life at it's fullest now. Please get some help so you are able to do this like I did. You can do it you know. Wink
