Hi, My name is Louise and I am 37 years old. I have recently moved house to be nearer my family due to my worsening health. I have recently been diagnosed with agoraphobia, a condition I have never suffered with before. When my husband leaves for work in the morning, I panic and cannot stay on my own in the house, I do not like my house at the moment, and I have to go to my mum's, she lives only 5 mins away.
I suffer a lot with panic attacks and cannot see an end to this suffering. I am not doing any housework and find that I am just sitting around in the company of others, anything not to be on my own. I feel physically sick when I have to leave my house. I feel relief when I am at my mum's and sheer terror when I have to go home. I feel that I am the only person walking around the town that the town is totally empty. Can anyone else relate to this, it would be nice to hear any tips that you might have. Many thanks, Lou.
