Monophobia/Agorophobia

[Clare_63]

Hi everyone hope you are all coping with this adverse weather - I am trying to but can feel those familiar 'wobblies' lurking in the background. I suffer from monophobia and agorophobia and during the last week or so have found it harder and harder to cope without taking tablets. The agorophobia I am coping with but its the being alone thats the hardest. I only joined this site a few days ago and as yet havent found anyone else who suffers from monophobia. I dont know if that means I havent found the right posts or that I am in the minority . Still since logging on to NoMorePanic I can honestly say I seem to have found a calmer me. So thank you all for being so honest with your posts.

Take care everyone

You may like to mail "blossom" as she suffers from this. I will mail you her email address I am sure she won't mind. She is having problems getting on the forum at the moment.

I will find some others for you as well.

Thank you Nicola, I'll email her asap. Being new to this site I'm not sure if I'm adding posts in the right Forums. Apologies if I muck up for a while.

Thanks again

Clare

Hi Clare, I too suffer from monophpboia and agoraphobia and although my monophobia is getting better, it is still so difficult for me being alone.
I hope you start to feel better soon..

Take care

A big welcome to the site Clare.

Although my main problem is panic attacks/agoraphobia I have had odd patches of not wanting to be on my own. This seemed to be when I was fairly new to the whole thing and had no idea what was really happening to me.

I am sure this will get better for you over time hun. I am a firm believer in the baby steps approach to overcoming the agoraphobia and wonder if you could apply that to the monophobia too.

How are you managing with that aspect at the moment?

Hi Claire

I have monophobia - much to husband's chagrin!!! Try to arrange not to be alone very often but find myself going places I don't want to go just so that I'm not on my own. Also socialise with people I'm not particularly keen on just for company. Ho hum. I work full time so that takes care of my 'company' in the day but can be difficult in evenings if husband is working strange shift pattern. Don't know why I dislike being on my own but my imagination runs riot and I visualise all sorts of catastrophic events that will happen purely from being on my own and being discovered (possibly dead/murdered/freaked out) by someone who 'finds' me !!! Sounds a bit mad. I am around your age so we might have something in common!

monophobia, the being alone thing,right? Yes, i have that i think. I havent been alone in 4 years. i have for about 20 minutes or so, any longer, im flipping! but my mums slowly taking longer and im distracting myself while she's out. Plus, my therapist says my little walks, have to be alone. Because i crave independance. But i take the dog. No human, i know, but nobody looks daft talking to a dog!

I guess I suffer from monophobia too. Never knew that there was a name for it. My anxiety and panic attacks cause me to be that way. In December of last year I was so bad that I didn't want to be left alone so I went to work with my husband for a whole month. I was able to do that cause he owned his own business. I would have probably kept doing that but he started working for someone else so I have had to learn to stay by myself. Some days I can manage while other days are very dificult to deal for me to deal with. If you would like then you can always PM me.
