Hi All
I joined this site a few days ago but didnt introduce myself
My name is Pam. (username Brenda as Pam was already in use)
I am 55 and have had agoraphobia/ anxieties since I was 15.
I have gradually improved with the agoraphobia. A couple of years ago I went on a 3 hour train journey for a holiday.
Last year I tried again and had horrendous panics all the way there and back
I have just started going out again and went on a 10 minute train journey last week. Ok apart from feeling shaky. No major panic
I also have a phobia about hospitals or anything medical, treaments , tests etc.
This is a real problem as I need to get some tests done. I cancelled an appointment yesterday cause I felt too ill to go
I'm sooo glad I found this site. I decided that I wanted to get better from this and reading about all of you has really helped to know that I am not the only one and I am not going mad :).
I am planning on seeing the doc again when i can pluck up the courage. Its time somebody helped me with it.
I'm also going to do a telephone recovery course with No Panic. I sent off the forms today. ONly £10 to join and its free to do the course.
I'll let you know how I get on
