What is the personality of someone that would have this, is my question? What type of personality do people think agoraphobics should have? I have severe PTSD and people still tell me I don't seem like I should have agoraphobia. Technically, no person should have agoraphobia, but there's little care given to people who suffer from it beyond throwing pill after pill at it and hoping it works (I've been on 10 meds so far with no luck).
not to be ignorant but everyone wants to cure cancer. panic attacks are not an exact science. they want to cure autism, michael j fox syndrome, aids and others.
benzo's are addictive stuff. the longer you are on them the harder it will be to get off them. some people need them but sometimes they really dont help (dont be scared and think this is you) I will not take them anymore. exercise can really help and eating healthy also. cutting out pop and adding water can make a difference. really small steps are better than nothing.
I have agoraphobia too. So many things you said ring so true. I have called so many county places for therapy and no one understands and no one will help. One place said they will come to me 4 times and then I have to come to them. And I said I can't do that. It would be great to do something ourselves and get something done.
I'll write more on facebook where I have a profile. Thank you for your inspirational video! :)
I am a 23yr old Male and I'm Agoraphobic. I have been struggling with this for going on decade now. I'm currently on 4 and 1/2 mgs of clonazepam. It helps, but i still find myself 90percent of the time stuck inside my condo.. Its hard i plan on joining your group. Hope all is well.
We need someone ,a celebrity someone who is well known ,and will be noticed.Im sure theres many famous people with panic attacks,agoraphobia,if only they would come forward and speak out.We have been neglected for too long.People who suffer from this in my area are not wanted,harassed ,treated awful by mental health professionals.Because we dont have a psychotic illness.
I''ve suffered from panic attacks since 9 years old(1966),and homebound since 15 years old(since 1972).And been on xanax ,norpramin,trazodone for 25 years. My experience in getting help has been terrible.They, mental health professional's ,mental clinics ,got treated awful,very unwanted.Got thrown out of a mental health clinic one street away,all agoraphics did.
@Catwoman724 Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear about this. That really really pisses me off that they would treat you and all agoraphobics like that. This is a SERIOUS condition. We need help! Are you still currently homebound? I rarely find someone who is also FULLY homebound like I am.
@TaintedBeautifully Yes still currantly homebound, next month they are gonna stop meds,because i cant make it to their clinic.They worsen me by abruptly pulling all meds off twice ,when i couldnt walk due to sciatica.Also have 2 types of arthritis badly, ibs,acid reflux,retina eye problem . They pulled off 30mg off norpramin.On xanax also for over 25 years.Cant find out why they lowered my norpramin.Havent been anywhere since last December,last time 1 street away was horrible steady panic
@Catwoman724 Oh no I hate to hear that. Did the medication actually work for you? I haven't took any. I'm curious if they help you go out or just ease the anxious feeling?
@TaintedBeautifully The meds help.Before i was put on meds i had constant panic attacks in my house ,with no place to hide.Thats when i went to the local hospital er room.Didnt have much choice,panic attacks wouldnt stop.
@Catwoman724 It's not terrible that the meds help. It's terrible about the panic attacks. I know that feeling all too well. I'm constantly fighting off panic attacks. Which meds helped you the most?
Im only ok when i go outside with people. But if im in a busy shop or crowd i just want to run away. And in advance i always need to know exactly where im going and how long for :( its crazy but yeah
At agoraphobiahelpdotcom there is advice about agoraphobia, you can sign up for a newsletter, and the web site owner has audio messages for helping people with agoraphobia.
@FUNKYMACGIRL I honestly have no idea what a personality of an agoraphobic should be. I just know how I use to be and how I am now. Before I was just fineeeee and now all the sudden I panic 24/7. Just doesn't make sense to me. It could be the kidnapped thing though! lol
I've had Agoraphobia for 12yrs. I still managed to have a successful pet sitting business with the help of an anti-anxiety med. But just a few months ago, i decided i couldn't handle putting myself through the constant panic anymore and i moved in with my dad. I have to move out and have no where to go but that's another story. I've spent a FORTUNE to get better, alternative therapy, nutrition, herbs, you name it..nothing's helped. I know SO much about this topic but i don't know what to do.
Good ideas! :) And just a few days ago I put two videos on my YouTube channel here, a 16-minute vlog "Agoraphobia and Depression" and a 26-minute video lecture "Exposure vs Therapy (Physiology of Anxiety Disorders)". I'd be glad if all of you would check them out and tell me what you think about it. Especially the second video deals with my experiences and findings and good stuff I read, all regarding "where does it come from" and "how to treat it". Still we need more research!
