does anybody recognise this...
i do go out, as much as i can but the fear is there.. before i go out i get terrified, not sure wot about but i have lost alot of confidence and begin to panic with the minutes counting down before i have to go out and sometimes when i go out i have to come home ... the thing is though is that i DO go out ! well at least i try to, im a young mum with a young child and cant eactly leave him at school so i have no choice other than to pick him up but i have college once a week and make every excuse i can not to go as i get scared and think people are lookin at me and judging me all the time and i dont know why.. i get very panicky if i am more than a mile or so from home and get severe panic attacks as i know i can tget straight home if i need to incase i have a panic attack etc... is this still agorophonbia, a few years ago when i first had a break down i was only 18 and all my friends would go out and i would think about going but then have a panic attack set off my ibs and saty in and this went on for about 4 months jus not leaving the house but i do now but it is very traumatic.. i assume i still have mild agorophobia but my doc fobs me off all the time, any advice??? xxx
