Hi I just wanted to share that my agoraphobia has been improving. At my worst I can recall feeling like that was no hope at all and Id be stuck for the rest of my life. I've had problems with agoraphobia for the last 10 years or so, this last episode has been the worst. In addition to not going out for 10 solid months, I refused to let family and friends visit and have been very isolated.
I was constantly asking my mental health team for evidence/success stories to help me believe that things can change because I was sure I'd be very unwell forever. I wanted to share on here in case anyone else feels hopeless and would find the reassurance helpful. I have got better and I didn't believe I would.
Things are far from normal but I am able to visit the local shops and I have visited a friend.
Medication and exposure work has been the most helpful to me.
Best wishes
