Hi and welcome Panic Manic. How long have you been suffering and do you know what caused your agorophobia? Hope things aren't too bad for you at the moment.

I think I have had a slow onset of it since my panic/anxiety came out of the blue a few years ago. It's been up & down since then for me. Don't think mine is extreme although it does seriously restrict what I can & can't do, where I can & can't go etc, and I do have what I call my 'comfort zone' and view my home as the only place I really feel safe.

I hope you get all the support & help you need here. :)

I dropped out of school when I was 14? I had to be homeschooled via online high school. I don't leave the house but once every 5 months, ish :shrug: ... that is a struggle for me :l

My 'comfort zone' is my room.... other parts of the house I don't feel 'safe' in.

Wow, poor you that sounds extreme to me :ohmy: It must be hard for you. Hope you are getting some help from doctor/therapist. I found the article on agorophobia here very helpful, I didn't realise I had the symptoms until I read it and just put it down to anxiety. I hope you can eventually venture out a little more. Can you get out if you have a trusted friend or family member with you?

I am not getting help yet. I kind of lied to my doc and he gave me zoloft, which don't help. I think he is realizing something is up as I avoid him and only go in every 4 months instead of every month lmao.

I don't have anyone 'their for me' right now. But when I did it was ok to go in public :l .
