    Hi everyone I'm George

    Hello everyone, I have suffered with anxiety and depression for 10 years now, I am agoraphobic and dont like travelling very far. I also work for mental health services which in some ways makes me feel crap about not being able to sort myself out but on the other hand makes me good at what I do because I totally understand and never patronise people.
    I guess I'm on here as its easier to speak to strangers, most of my friends/colleagues don't have a clue about how bad I feel at times as Im quite a private person.
    I hope to make some good friends

    Panic attacks started in 1992. 1998 i became agoraphobic which lead into being room bound. Couldn't even get upstairs. 2002 i started getting better, able to drive and work. 2005 i became house bound again. 2009 i have been making SLOW progress, still not able to go anywhere alone, but my journeys are getting longer. No where near 'normal' but at least i can go out.
