Hi I am new!

[bradford]

Hello my name is bradford and i am 29 years old.
I live in scotland in the U.K.
I have had fear disorders for the last 12 years.
I had my first severe panic attack in june 1995,Thankfully i have never had one so bad since.
I also have social anxiety disorder,I have never had employment or a social life ever!
I never left my home between the year 1998 and 2003 due to severe agrophopia which i developed,By 2003 i was going insane!
In 2003 i was on the edge of insanity,but fortunately i started receiving professional help for my disorders in that year.
I did not know it at the time but it was the start of my recovery from "the fear".
I have been in treatment now 4 years and my agrophobia has all but gone!:D
I still suffer from anxiety and social anxiety,iam currently working towards overcoming those phobias.

Well thats pretty much what i want to say right now,I look forward to chatting with fellow sufferers.

:) Hi Bradford :)

Welcome to the site - Well done for conquering the agoraphobia; I'm not quite there yet but the light at the end of this loooooooooong tunnel is now in sight at least! I'm making improvements little by little (I assume you were the same) so surely thats the way to go with your other phobias/issues? Keep at it, sounds like you're already on the right path.
Take care, CarpeDiem
