Hi ive been suffering from agorophobia and extreme anxiety for almost 4 years now. And i'm getting very weary of it all. The symptoms started when i finished secondary school and had to start college. Having to get the bus to college i felt really anxious, shaking, nausia, i remember the first day when i walked into college and i felt trapped and felt as though everyone was looking at me, i remember my heart beating faster and i felt really sick and i was physically sick in the toillett. Then physically sick outside where everyone was hanging around waiting for lessons to start. I got a cab home and remember the taxi driver being quite angry with me.
Going into college was really hard, i used to phone up saying i was ill, because i couldn't face walking down to the bus stop and getting on the bus, and being at college where loads of people would be.
Ive been physically sick on a lot of occasions due to anxiety of going out etc. If i have to go to an appointment or anything to do out of my own home, i get serious nausia and acid reflux, gagging reactions, shakes, heart beating faster etc. I also find it very hard to eat when these symptoms are occuring and as a result i have lost a stone and a half in weight in the past yr.
My anxiety has been getting worse in the past year ive become housebound. i havent been out with friends since 2006. I can just about manage going outside with my parents but thats rare.
