  • could someone PLEASE make a vid about TEEN agoraphobia. don't leave it to me please (i haven't seen annny videos on that). i hate when i search on the net "teen agoraphoboa " i can't find anything

  • 1 m 21 yr old. i m agoraphobic.  n i quit engineering in 2007 due to fear of people. i feel scared of leaving home. i only leave home at midnight when no one is there. when i see people i run away. help me

  • Today I'm watching lots of agoraphobia videos. I think I will make a video myself today as well. I'm actually coping well with it as such, I'm just in a "socioeconomical crisis" because of it, which I hope will be resolved over the course of the coming weeks. (Basically, I applied for German handicapped people insurance payments, and getting it is so insanely bureaucratic, eg to acknowledge I cannot go to work anymore, I shall GO see a doctor to confirm it. Yeah, right ... *rolleyes*)

  • You are not the only agoraphobic around.  True.

  • I feel the same. I've been battling with it for 13 years now. Hearing you speak makes me feel less alone.

  • Damn you agrophobic niggaz are crazy, real niggaz be in the street an' sheittt

  • yo wicamelissa can i be yr friend, i get that too> lets chat about it

  • I totally hear ya. I'm terrified of people and it's like no matter how much I try to expose myself to it to "force" myself to get used to it, it's like nothing works at least until I've been able to block everyone out. I'm still able to function but holy hell it's a challenge just to "feel normal".

  • I didnt know it even existed my home is also my safe place i just do not feel the need to go anywhere else whats the point? My mom lives in the house where I grew up and it is a challenge to even want to go there? Part of it for me though is that I also have muscular dystrophy and im scared of fallling and making an idiot of myself. Because i need help to get up is that the same? I dont want to leave my house

  • You must try different medications and STAY ON one with the least side effect. Sometimes you have to stay on for at least 1 year for the real effect.

    You MUST take the medication ON TIME.

    Do NOT miss the dosage.

    Must be under supervision of doctor.

    It took 1 year for me to take the REAL effect, I almost gave up hope until 2 months ago.

  • you're not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yeah i have it too:)I'm really glad that you are talking about it.

  • you are not. fix your mic melissa. can't hear a thing.

  • Hey there - I've got agoraphobia too. Had it for 7 years now. Have depression and panic disorder too. Had that on and off since the 90's sometime. Tis a nightmare! Hope you get better....Hope we all get better! xxx

  • im becoming like this and im avoiding going anywhere, i have had a bad past and i think it may be to do with that. I also get very touchy over what people say and take things to heart. i cannot work and i desperatley want to. i have 2 children and need to get out for their sakes. also i live at mums with them and need my own pace buthave rent arears from last house feel trapped also. have been diagnosed with personality disorder

  • I have agoraphobia anxiety disorder panic attack for last 5 years, actually I have fear of unknown. Every time I feel something will happen wrong to me specially to my business. I used lot of antidepressant but result is big zero nothing improve.

    I try to avoid those thought but I cant. My condition more worst when I wake up in morning and during all day.

    Can you suggest me any thing better

  • former pilot here -- now agoraphobic, can't fly, lucky I made it to my mailbox really.

  • At least you could actually go out to begin with, ive given up with that

  • Hopefully this girl is doing better. Everyone should seek a professional help if you have a fear that is controlling your life...

  • Know the feeling agoraphobia is no joke!

  • I suffer with this also....Sometimes you think its getting that bit 'easier'to go out then.BOOM.Panic smacks you in the face..

    All the best.

  • i suffer from anxiety panick attacks weird crazy thoughts i feel scared and panick i used 2 panick over the thoughts thinking im crazy coz i never knew wot it woz..,i wana share a CURE with you guys its called EFT check it on utube or at least reaserch about it all the best

  • antidepressants dont work for me thay make me worse.

  • Can relate and it is so hard to explain to people who have never gone thru this. Did I think I would become a victim -NO.

    I still don't understand after much medical help. We lay quiet, lose friends and become recluse. To go out I have to really stress for hours or days and then once I am out I can react normally but like a rat up a drianpipe I can't wait to get home. Relationships are out of the question, I can hardly stand myself let alone some other poor soul having to put up with me.

  • LOOK UP THE LINDEN MATHOD

  • Your condition can't be cured but the symptoms can be held back. Agoraphobia is by far stronger than any other phobia simply because it's so integrated with your personality.

  • look up "empower plus true hope" its used for bipolar but im thinking of trying it for my panic attacks/social anxiety

  • I totally understand where you are at as I am there too. It has now been about 4 years and I am not getting better. I am getting sick of the people that just think you can "GET OVER IT". If you had asked me 5 or 6 years ago I don't think I would be as understanding as I now am. However i have lost friends on the way and to go out as I live alone should be a normal thing. I stress the night before, I panic . Just hope for a miracle.

  • shut the fuck up! people are all different

  • i have this! music helps so dam much! couldnt do anything without it

  • yes I agree music helps

    playing or listening

  • damn! you're sooo beautiful!

  • God please someone lead me in the right direction, Ive tried the Linden method, Gp, self help books (claire weeks) and Im now desperate. Thankyou for taking the time to read this long msg. xx

  • Ive suffered agoraphobia for over 8 yrs, wrecking my family nobody seems to understand and I feel totally scared for my future and that of my kids. I also have constant symptoms which no-one else seems to mention so I therefore think its cancer or something dreadful like that (upper respiritary problems (back of nose feels like its swelling and I cant breath properly, back of throat area)you always hear of tight chest but never this.

  • I feel I need a Gp or ambulance with me to go out, Im sure Im gonna die (cant breath) and unless I can have someone like the mentioned with me then I CANT do it, this of course is unrealistic!

  • You are NOT alone! I'm out here with this crap as well!

  • i am seeing so many videos with my same symptoms. i just gotta say thanks for making your video

  • I think all of these latest neurological problems are caused by western food, toxin buildup, mercury from our teeth/vaccines etc etc. People are having to take prescription meds in record numbers.. I think there's a lot of us that are just really sensitive to this stuff so it's having these effects on us. I'd look into getting fillings removed, chelating out the mercury and doing liver/kidney cleanses.

  • I am not agoraphobic, but i do suffer from anxiety/panic. I take medication daily to control this. I say i am borderline agoraphobic. Im learning about my disorder and it sucks. Im with you mellissa, i am here if you need

  • Hey, i'm extremely agoraphobic as well.....

    a main reason is i feel like i can't breathe 24/7..i've had every test ran on me to prove it isnt anything physical...but it literally feels like somebody is suffocating me...it's the worst feeling in the world..i've lost ALL of my friends, i don't go ANYWHERE unless my mom is there...i had to drop out of public school....it seems like its never ending and i'll be like this the rest of my life..meds make me more insane.....what a terrible disorder.

  • I had the same exact thing as you with the suffocating thing, I hated school because whenever I would get called on I would feel the suffocation and could only talk for about 5 seconds before having serious problems. I think I know how to cure it though because I did it once before (at least made huge improvements for a while) unfortunately I have social anxiety again but my depersonalization I think is gone for good. Check your pm's

  • Hello! I feel your pain! I have had panic/anxiety disorder for 13 years now. It is hard for me to leave the house.I'm here to talk if you need to. It can be a very lonely road.

  • Yes, I can totally relate. It is a difficult thing for those who have never experienced it to comprehend, and digest. But, at the risk of sounding cliche, there are people out there that can and want to help, and talking IMHO (and in my personal case) was the best thing! I also sent you a message about this.

  • did your blog or website ever come to fruition?

    be good to chat!

  • I hate being agoraphibic. I isolate myself all the time. I really hate going out.

  • Dont you just hate this crap. =x

    I am trying to leave my house (in a few hours) to go to a bar with a friend to dance.. and my anxiety is already messing with me. I wish I could shut myself up but I never can!

    Take some Valerian root and passion flower.. and wear ametrine and fluorite.. IT WORKS!!!

  • I always knew there were people exactly like me around, but finally hearing another person say exactly how I feel is liberating in a way.

  • hey I really like your video.  Thanks for sharing. I am going to send you a message.

    take care

  • I'm with ya. I'm gonna check out CBT this summer, depending on the results I'll probably post some vids as well.

  • I really appreciate this video, I also expirience panic, anxiety and agoraphobia and it's humbling to see that other people also share my feelings.

    Although sometimes I can't see it, but there is a way out of this. Absolutly.

  • it's good to know that i ain't the only one going through this shit. i have severe panic attacks, depression, anger and agoraphobia. and i just wanna know one thing, is there any way out of this hell?

  • Ive only just found out that i have agoraphobia....i always wnodered why i couldnt travel any more than 30 mins away from my house....its horrible, i cant even talk to my friends about it because im so embarressed. ive tried all sorts of things to beat it but i have no idea how. Who do you go and see?

  • Thankyou for this video, i had a few tears because your feeling exactly how im feeling, and the more i see people feeling the same way isolated,alone,depressed,etc..­ it makes me sad but also it comforts me, if the internet didnt exist i dont know how we'd cope being home all the time because it sure does help, thanks for this, you can msg me if you like, Jess.

  • Hahh..i,m right there with ya..I was homebound for 6 whole months and am just now learning to venture out little by little,it's scary.Especially when people are around.I can usually only leave by myself or with a "safe person".I hate it,it's so depressing.Hey..lets make a myspace account for agoraphobics and people with panic disorder,like for support and stuff just to like..vent?What do ya say?

  • Yeah, you pretty much nailed that one right.

    Good description, but most people will not understand and when you try to explain...

    The important thing is you made into your course as shown in later videos uploaded.

    Keep trying...lead by example.

    God knows-it ain't easy.

  • I am not alone! thank you for coming out, i am inspired to to the same

  • Hi Just to say your vidio is very good and I hope to do one very soon. I have had Agoraphobia for years since I was 19 years old it came on over night. I never left my home for over 18 years it was hell. I will say a lot more on the vidio when I do it.I do get out a bit now Thank God and my brother who is the one who got me off Valliam I will chat about them in my vidio as well. you are helping so meney people who have this phobia Chat again very soon Tish

  • dont beat yourself up over it. the more u down urself the more depressed ur gonna get and depression and anxiety go hand in hand. be happy where u are. tomorrow is another day

    im agoraphobic as well, good luck

  • thanks for posting this video, it's so nice to know that someone understands the daily struggles that i face. goodluck with everything, i'd love to see more videos.

  • I want to return to school. I can't get my self to drive down to campus. I helped with the hurricanes and before had a business for 20+ years, Realtor, investor, whatever. I traveled all the time. One day, I couldn't leave the house or drive, let alone fly, some days I can drive,but very scary. I thought I was having a heart attack. I am on meds, but they don't seem to help. I was very outgoing. Any thoughts would be helpful. Let's all get back out there.

  • holy man i know exactly how u feel, i hate it so much but apperantly there is a cure im trying to get help because this is just not me, but i was stupid and did a few drugs in which i shouldnt have, but i hope the best for u and hope u get better

  • I'm 16 and I have generalized anxiety and panic disorder and I do find it hard to go out with friends and especially hard to go to school. I like your post I can relate and it feels good knowing that someone else shares the same experience as me.

  • Panic attacks sure can be tough. I am glad that people do get better. There is hope. Thanks for the video

  • very interesting. i use to have agorophobia when i was around your age..they were awful. i havent had a panic attact in a long time..but i can feel when they are coming on...i feel for you, cs

  • very inresting red laser dot appears 3:18 just wondering what that was.

  • I know exactly what you mean. My mom recently moved away and it really shook things up in my life. I started getting panic attacks and ever since then its like I never want to leave the house because I am afraid of the feelings..

    Thanks for making this. It lets me know I'm not the only one. :)
