Hi Panic08

Welcome to NMP :)

There is a thread on Agrophobia in the General Anxiety section of the forum which you may find useful.

Have you asked your GP to be referred for therapy? This may help you hun.

Thank you for your replies, i went to my gp about a month ago with my mum (im only 19) and my gp put me on meds for panic attacks and basically said the rest was in my head and i needed to start going out, so im a little worried about going back there again, i will take a look at the diary and the chatroom
thanks

Hello Panic08:welcome: to you!

Good advice so far - the Agrophobia Diary is an excellent thread and should prove most helpful.

There is lots more information in the links on the left of the page too - First Steps might be a good place to start. There are also some very encouraging personal stories there too.

Glad you joined us - pleased to meet you!
