We all know that having panic attacks agoraphobia or anxiety can stop us from living a complete life but the reality of it, it is not the panic anxiety or agoraphobia that stops us, its our relationship with them that stops us.
We give life to the above and then we fear.
Most of us have had 100s if not 1000s of panic attacks and anxiety attacks but we recover and when we look back we can see that no harm has come to us. The same does apply to agoraphobia.
I have read 100s of post on here because if someone is spending time writing them then its worth reading. There is a line through most of them and that is fear and most have a fear of death.
Some believe they have a safe place or a safe person but the reality is that person or place is no more than a support, the fact is we are the ones that are facing our fears, even if it is with the support of another.
1. Get fit. If you cant get out buy an exercise bike
2.if you smoke try and cut it down and then stop
3. Cut out all junk food
4. practise meditation everyday for 15-20 mins and as you feel calm use a key word...calm calm calm..this will trigger the mind in times of panic etc
5. get a hobbie...it does not matter what hobbie it is just as long as you enjoy it
All the above are just examples of how to move forward but you may have many of your own
The main thing is to face your fear!!!!
It took me a year to leave my house and I did it in small steps but I will admit to running back many times but over time I did make it.
We can overcome this
Yes it will be difficult
But it will change our life
If I was to ask "do you want to get well" everyone would shout yes
If I asked "are you ready to face your fear" some would have doubt that they could but the thing is you can and until you accept that you can you will remain a slave to your feelings
I am not the finished product but with small steps I am getting there and so can everyone who reads this
Even if its just doing exercise that will be a key start, so come on lets get well:yesyes:
