Think im agoraphobic

[chauloom]

Ive been anxious for 4 years and it seems to be getting worst, ive recenly been put on prozac and feel like im going mad and will be locked up in a mental hospital, i sit in frount of the TV to distract my mind and stop thinking, i find it much harder to go outside and thinking about going outside or doing so makes me more panicky, and i used to manage that by just avoiding going out now panicking is creepying into my home life. i just cant see a way out at the moment.
Please any advice?
i also am really scared that everything is fake that this is unreal that im really in the matrix or the trueman show, that i will wake up one day and realise this and reject the world. One of my big fears is this unreal feeling depersoniation.

HI ,

We've all mostly been there and anxiety can feel like we are going mad but doesn't result in any of us going mad. It doesn't work like that.

Look on Nics common threads post in announcements and read through the ones that appeal to you.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
How big is your gallery ?
