Hello and welcome!

Coping with anxiety can vbe overwhelming and draining. Make sure you read the First Steps page and come up with a plan to make yourself better as soon as possible

Sit down, write a list of what needs to be done and get on cracking. THings to consider: practical help, medication, benefits, moral support... you can find info about all of this and more in teh info pages and in teh forumns, and if not, start a thread!

I know you might not believe it right now, but you will get better.

Chin up and make today the first day of your path toward recovery

Hugs

Ricard



ps I was housebound for six months and I am an ex agoraphobic, have been working full time for 5 years, so it can be done

Hi and thanks
i have read some interesting posts and i am determined i will get well. i dunno how long it will take but guess a day at a time is the best way to go. i went to local shop this morning for a newspaper, it was difficult but i did it . i just want to stop feeling so useless , i start with good intentions but then i start to falter and thats when i retreat into my own world.
thanks again
