Hi..
I've had agoraphobia for nearly 10 years. I am just 32 years old, so a 1/3 of my life has been swallowed by this illness. I've suffered in various degrees and right now i am not doing at all well :(
I've been told you can recover, i am still waiting.
You are not alone..

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.
Hi Bet,
I've had agoraphobia on and off for 13 years now, and this year it's been pretty severe. Trite as it sounds, i think you just have to try and stay positive (i know that can be near impossible at times). I was virtually agoraphobia free for 8 years, so i know it is possible to recover.
Sorry i can't be of any particular help, i'm just another person letting you know you're not alone with this!
Hope everything improves for you soon. Take care,
Lorelai x

thanks Dale,I live in Southern Ireland and even though alot of doctors around the world are clueless with panic/agoraphobia they are especially clueless here.
