Agoraphobia and new here

[maria]

Hello, Im new to this forum, and I have had agoraphobia most of my life. Im 24 years old and live in the U.S. I havent talked to to many people that have this and that can be very lonely. I guess Im scared to leave because of all the what ifs that run through my head. When I try to leave it makes me feel like I cant breath,and so many more symptoms. I dont want to wake up twenty years from now and be in the same place. I feel Im missing out on so much, and would love to meet someone, or talk to someone who may understand what I am going through. Any and all replys are welcome,and I hope I can get some good results.... thank everyone who replys and hope to here from all ofyou. MARIA

Hey there, I'm 18 and I have / had agoraphobia, I didn't leave the house for two years, but I'm loads better now, I have a job and I'm in college, so if ya need someone to chat to about it all, I know how you feel.
It's good that ya found us, it's nice to know you're not alone.

Thank you for replying, sometimes it feels like Im all by myself with this and there isnt anyone to talk to. That is until I found how much things a com. can really do. I never realized that so many people had the same thing as I do. It gives me comphort to know I am not alone, but sad cause this isnt something I could wish on anyone. Do you have any suggestions on how to work on getting beter? Maria

My mum has had agoraphobia for 6 years and is only now getting treatment for it so please go see your doctor or whoever because it wont go away by itself .

I have seen several doctors, and all they try to give me is meds. I know that they may help but that is also one of my fears to. I can go about ten minutes away from the house but only if it is with someone I really trust. How ols is your mom. What do you suffer from. I try really hard to think positve, that I will get beter but its been so long sence I have went far I forgot how it would feel. Thank you for replying and any suggestions would be great. maria
