Re: 2013 Agoraphobia Thread
Thanks for starting a much needed thread Rain... Hi all.
I suffered first panic attack about 7 years ago on the motorway!!! We used to travel all over the country before that. Like Kittikat my world shrank dramatically until I did not want to leave my home-town, then did not want to go too far from my home and then could not even get down my street. I take prozac and lyrica (just started the latter) to help with the panicky feelings.
My first goal is to be able to walk our dog instead of hubby doing it. I can walk him round my street with hubby and next step is to walk him round my street without hubby and eventually go further.
Agoraphobia is an awful thing to have - because it is so isolating by its very nature. I think it's a great idea to be able to support others and receive support whilst tackling this.
Kittikat I am curious...can you get cbt for agoraphobia on the NHS?
