hi i have suffered agoraphobia since i was 14 im on now 49 its a lot better but it developed into general anxiety and im having a hard time at the min. my chest feels tight or i get flutters then i panic.its a tough trying to function daily at the min. i dont really want meds i dont relax so i ache in my back. feels like no one really understands how scary the feelings are. thoughts in your head can send you into a panic.

I suffer agoraphobia too. Have you tried cbt? I've recently gone onto setraline. Waiting for a cat appointment but the waiting lists are awful!! I'm going to try hypnotherapy.

I've just been diagnosed with gad after Trying for years to get doctors to listen. Finally found someone who actually pushed his chair back, sat back and listened to me! I would be interested to hear how you are finding sertraline as he has put me on that. Must be the 8 th or ninth Med I've tried.
I find mindfulness helps. Cbt not helpful but they were always under the assumption I was depressed not anxious.
Thank goodness For a decent gp. Good luck x
