Hi, sorry if i have posted in the wrong section.
Ive recently been reading up on agoraphobia after feeling like i might have some kind of problem.
dont know where to begin but i want to get this of my chest and any help i can get as its beginning to get to me the way i am.
Firstly im 22 years old and for the Last 6 years since leaving school i have been in and out of jobs because ive always felt like i cant socialise i panick and begin to get hot and bothered.
I Thought this may be just me going through my teen years but its never got better and ive just adjusted to living how i am. I feel as if people look at me like im some kind of bum, but really i am not and i would like to work i just dont feel i can, i am quite an homely type of person if thats anything to go by.
In the past 2 years its gradually got worse I cant even go to the Local supermarket or post office or any confrontational places. what seems to happen is i feel people are looking at me and i get hot and begin to sweat and if im at a counter and im sweating i get agitated sometime feeling a little angry, its very embarrassing, im currently out of a job i did a days work last week and just couldnt cope and packed in knowing i do need money but its like my body just shuts off.
its at the point now where i realise something aint quite right.
Can anyone please give me any advice on what im going through what should i do, what help can i get, i realise working isnt right for me yet but is there any help i can get? i cant claim job seekers allowance as i feel pressured into jobs and end up quitting then back at square one again.
any help would be very much appreciated, and sorry for such a long post.
