Agorophobic and anxiety

[wmacd]

Hi i am wendy and i have suffered with anxiety for 30yrs.I was having pa due to my mum dying at 42yrs young.My dr.put me on diazapam which made me worse in the long run.I am withdrawing from them now and going through hell and back i still have depression and anxiety.These meds have also made me house bound.I can get to the shops with my partner but can go nowhere on my own which is horrendous has i used to be a free spirit...anyone on here in the same boat.I will never give up,i have no faith in dr.s whatsoever...

Welcome to NMP.

Yes, I am in the same boat. I have agoraphobia and general anxiety as well. I can go out but only if somebody is with me. If I go out on my own even to walk my dog I have a panic attack. I also feel trapped and very alone but I'm trying to fight it.

Hi I have agrophobia and anxiety and can not go out the house at all on my own and even with someone do not like to go far.
I used to rely on my husband to take me out think I was too dependent on him and sadly he died in 2007 age 40 so do not get out much at all now.
I have been like this for 24 years now and like you have no faith in doctors at all

I am agoraphobic as well. I am getting better about driving places, but I can't go INSIDE places without having a horrible time. Hugs to you, Wiskers ~
