Please help soo many phobias!

[lindy26]

Hi i'm new to this forum & looking for some help. I have quite bad depression, which i've had for three years now.

One of the things i feel is affecting my depression is a kind of agoraphobia. I can manage to go to work although i feel nervy. But out of work unless i'm with my partner i'm a wreck :(

When outside alone I jump at any noise, nearly have a coronary if i have to walk past a dog. I always feel that i'm going to get attacked [:I]
I am desperately trying to get over this, but can't. I have just bought a new house & daren't even go down the road alone. How stupid is that?
any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

hi linda

oh sounds all to much to me

hey some good news for you i know individuals like yourself experiencing this kind of anxiety can and do overcome it!
this means no reason why you should not also learn to manage your levels of anxiety

a new skill to learn that is how to approach this perhaps
learn how to manage it
not it manage you

good luck
