hi im rachel

[Caurus]

I'm agoraphobic. hi. its new to me. I've also got pretty bad depression but they aren't related and I've had that so long i can deal with it alone now well enough.
I started off with those because of the nature of the website but I'm an artist/writer who before this was hoping to become some sort of conservationist (working outside in forests etc). i like making things and reading, i used to be really social and i haven't been outside in two weeks.
i get panic attacks and vomit and things if i do, sometimes its bad sometimes i just need to catch my breath. i dont have any money and i dont know what to do.

Hi Rachel and :welcome:

You'll get loads of advice and support here while making new friends along the way. I'm sorry to hear you're going through a bad patch at the moment and hope you feel better soon. I'm sometimes sick when anxious too so know how horrible it is but it doesn't happen every time. Staying indoors for two weeks isn't a really long time and is probably what you needed to recharge. When you feel able try to take some small steps rather than looking at the agoraphobia as a huge mountain. Going into the garden or just outside your door could be your first step.

Take care,

Mike :)

Hi Rachel. first of all are you getting any state benefits at all, as you can claim Incapacity Benefit by getting sick notes from your GP.This should give you some money. You need to tell him about your problem as well. Best wishes Samsara:welcome:

Hi Rachel

Welcome! I know it's awful. Maybe you could see the two weeks as just having a bit of a break? There is so much advice available on this subject but the most basic thing is that the more you do the easier it becomes. keep going out even if it's just for a walk.
we'll be here to listen when you have a bad day and to cheer when you have a good day.

Hi im Rachel too!!:)

I know how you feel. I am sooo desperate to travel and go work abroad but it also terrified that my anxiety and panic will get out of control as soon as i leave what is familiar. Its a constant war. Im still at work but only just.. every day is hard and the anxiety is on my mind constantly. The second i get a headache or stomach ache i think im im in gods waiting room! LOL
But i am hoping to find help here. Have u seen your doctor yet?
