I don't do anything, I don't go anyplace

[FlavourLikeIceCream]

I have this and I must say it's truly awful. Everyday I wake up, determined to get out there and maybe go to the gym for a quick workout but the thought of having a panic attack is just too much. When I do leave the house (which is like twice in a fortnight) I can't leave without my mum- not being able to leave the house without my num and I'm 18 years old! That makes me feel so ashamed and even more hopeless.

[blixxiebaby]

hey i suffer from the same symptoms and i dont go out either i dont drive as well it really sucks i have to fight with myself just to go out for a while i have been like this for a cpople of years and trust me you are not alone ....

[tonyfalca]

kind of off topic, but whats the song in the background??

[TheChrissy48]

I love that.."I am excited about the idea of going somewhere and doing something" that sums my life up.. I imagine if people knew this about me they would frown and think what the hell? just DO IT!!! lol if life was that simple.

[Noodles37UK]

ONCE AND FOR ALL...Family of mine... I. Dont. Do.Weddings. I.Dont. Do.Funerals. You know I have clinical anxiety. So cut the crap.

[alaanees]

i think you got bad spirit and you need to get it out

the cure watch this few times a day

watch?v=3LKniJ0uF6E

please tell me how you feel after that

thanks

[taildragger53]

It's something that is learnt from an early age. Usually caused by some worry loaded in the subconscious.

I've had them ,on & off, since the age of 5, 50 yrs now.

Started after school bullying. Caused a phobia of school then that phobia creeps into everything...this creates depression. Sometimes it leaves you for many yrs but stays suppressed.

There is no other way than to CONFRONT the subconscious. It takes guts but it's a small price to pay in place of losing out on life.

[ScotiExile]

@taildragger53 How do you go about confronting the subconcious... do you mean just confronting and exposing yourself to the fear?

[taildragger53]

@ScotiExile It has to be done gently and it takes a while to understand it because we are so used to doing the opposite. But it can be done successfully. If you click on to John Ruskan "Emotional Clearing" here on ytube it gives you the idea.

Best wishes to you!

[WVMale83]

Hey bro! You sound just like me and been there and done it through the years, I use to freaked out real bad when i had a panic attack but over the years i was starting to control it. You just gotta keep your brain busy when you're in the panic mode, Trust me bro! There's chemical imbalanced in your brain that doesn't get enough the right cells and it causes panic attacks on some people, Turn the negatives into postives by focusing on your favorite hobby or something that you like to do. Try it!

[CaneFu]

I prefer not to do anything at all - it's a good hobby to have.

[chantingchi]

Otaku

[Agorafobiaz]

me 2 i hate it :(*

[pepsiplayful]

i certainly understand i have the same prob, i have panick/agoraphobia, i have a big fear of going outside the world is 2 big, i feel like im gonna die so i panick and it can b really bad,,,

[prprincess863]

This is so funny, but I can totally relate to this. Darn panic attacks and our wierd ways of thinking! We can't let anxiety get the best of us!

[ArcadeGames]

There are places outside my house??? Who would have known???

[VegaOmega23]

I'm going to the bathroom, then I'm coming right back here.

[MrRob4102]

lol....."Yes ive experienced this.....the sickness" ...thanks dude, i needed to see this, i find that talking to myself  like commading myself in my head "Mr.Rob4102 get off your ass and go do what u need to" .....

[amityphil]

Ditto.  Ditto!

[kaballmo]

I was nodding my head a lot. And laughing.

[Illusiveojee]

Hahaha, I love this video.

[LovingLifeandWords]

I have worked my way out of most of my fears by cutting off my pensive thinking behavior -- thinking what will happen in the next moments.. I just try to block those thoughts.. it's worked MOST of the time for me.. but it's taken me a while to get to this point.. although I still fall back into some patterns of behavior from time to time.. it's constant work.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Going out is for the rich. It costs money to do anything. I'd rather save money by being lazy and saving money for stuff I want to buy. So I buy stuff and never create so what?

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Artistic people are productive. I create nothing. So what most of humanity consists of talentless parasites who contribute nothing to society. What has society and civilization ever done for me?

[TimsgiarK]

@ToxicOdiousOne what a stupid statement! civilization has given you the bed you are lying in, the computer you are on right now, your food and whatever else you have in your bedroom!

[ToxicOdiousOne]

I'm a misanthropist who loves the internet. It's my only connection with the outside world.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Why should be required to be productive or travel? Traveling costs money and I don't value travel enough to waste money on it.

[Almostfamous8484]

Is this a joke?

[Nerdydork666]

@Almostfamous8484 Yeh i think this is a joke.

[gunterandyuri]

I know what you mean, it is like that for me.

[fishfan67]

i hear you buddy my life changed since i got this agoraphobia and you just can't hide it. after a while everyone can figure it out, it's just to hard to hide and it sucks i mean look at me, i'm a x football player and went on the line with 300lb duds with no fear, but i can't go places without feeling like i'm gonna die so i just stay in my house. go figure!

[Valthecatlover]

haha, i really don't do anything or go anywhere. this isn't funny at all. ok, it is, but is it bad that i REALLY don't go anywhere or do anything?

[XXwezXX]

fuckwit

[triptoheaveandho]

go out at night..it is easier.

[fishfan67]

@triptoheaveandho not for me

[WrogPublicznyNumer1]

i loved that. great acting.

[Silverado8722]

Some advice for people having panic attacks do not drink caffiene just water and eat a balanced diet and excersise. Even if its just a home workout like pushups and situps. Just doing these things will help you incredibly. People that dont have panic attacks dont understand why u dont want to do anything they just think ur being lazy and it pisses me off!!

[vasant85]

@Silverado8722

so so true. i have a friend who doesnt understand what i`m going through and all he says is "you`re a lazy bum doing nothing sitting in your room". i feel so deprived everytime it happens. and thanks a lot m8, i`ll consider your advice.

[MineSweepingKent]

@vasant85

I know man, it sucks ass, I hate ignorance based off lack of knowledge. Can't blame them though, they expect everyone to be like them and normal. Not many people know what goes on behind what is expected of us... too bad most of the people we are able to associate with are that way.

[ogskeetdizzle]

i have reason to beleive that if cities and machines didn't exist and we all lived with nature that agoraphobia wouldn't exist, same with schizophrenia, it's just an assumption based on some work of psychologists, who think that the mind wants to go back and live in the old ways of nature but is forced to live this weird society we live in. myself ... that is why i have panic attacks. i've been reading on it. originally freud talked about this.

[jaddison1112]

You need to look into meds ... I've had panic/agoraphobia since in my teens, I'm 59. I made progress from being housebound in the 20s for several years, 12 years ago I finally accepted the need to take meds: maine are Paxil and Clonopin. My world has enlarged tremendously. Any persons dealing with debiltiating anxiety really need to look into help, it is medically available.

[veryangrybob911]

depends how severe your attacks are, i have to take 4.5mg of xanax IR to get to my psychiatrist and even then its pretty uncomforitable mind you this is with 0 tolerance whatsoever i wait a few days from taking xanax to the next time i take it because lucky me, i have a fear of getting addicted to a drug that can kill me if i stop taking it. and when i take the xanax more it makes me panic more because i fear the addiction, i can easily panic through 6mg of xanax

[smokerdalejash]

i dont like having friends i used to have lots but i just started getting sick of them wanting to do things so they stoped ringing me and i never rang them back its been 3 years i have not 1 freind and i am happy all i do is stay at home i have fear of meating people and i feel paraniod even talking to my family

[MidnightDC696969]

i am in a very similar position, cept i am not happy with it,

i have 0 real life friends, sum1 to hug ya know sux

[boostah27]

get to the point faster next time.

[goodlookin41]

do it for the rest of us. we got to think of all of us, let inspire each other to get things done.

[dougiewhite778]

im the same it seems i aint alone i love the company of pets, i love going to bed i like getting large amounts of food in so i can stay in for long periods i chat on the phone alot and when i have reluctently agreed to go out i ve never been so impressed, i hate large gangs of people getting drunk and asking questions then you have to try and justify yourself its stressfull. even when i let freinds visit i am want them to go after a few hours so i can relax and skin up. just exept yourself.

[mishka561]

OMG I am soo happy to know Im not the only one! I have to go to my sons graduation this month and I'm deathly afraid. I have to drive about 1800 miles. I know I can do it but I have so much anxiety.

[sweetluvgurl]

Yeah, I totally got what you were saying in this video. I have anxiety. I really, really just have a hard time being around people (even friends and family members). Usually, I spend most of my time alone in my room on my comp or watching tv. I dread social events like weeks in advance. My anxiety comes from my speech and from my rare disease I was born with, though. Plus, some of the fact that I don't get out a lot is due to my health and feeling bad a lot.

[auragasmic]

whats the music from> tell me the name

[mickmusing]

the song is called Samba De Mon Coeur Qui Bat, the artist's name is Coralie Clément. She's terrific.

[DCNov]

dianetics may help you. I will pray for you.

[INConcentration]

hysterical!! - You make me crack up so much!.

This is what it would be like if the next pack of trendhunters decided that staying in was the new going out.

[omgavailablename]

This is smut. Pure smut. SMUT!

[Heretiffany]

I like to sleep.

[itsMEyouYouToober]

I don't want to do anything or go any where..i just want to stay home all the time..& i'm fine with that it's other ppl who have a problem with it..they're my only problem

[luv2knit61]

WOw, am finding lots of folks on you tube who are like me. I can't go places or do things either, but then again, I have agoraphobia. Not too many people understand. Thanks for making this video!

[fermisk]

is a stammering person like me who has a severe speech impediment and because of that doesn't go out or intract with others an agoraphobic or misanthropist!!!!!

[baphometlovesyou]

It's because you're a man that they don't simply accept it. I don't get it myself. What kind of world is this that even the shut-ins experience the snares of sexism?

[stevieVantanna]

you should take up a musical instrument

[666Isay]

I can go anywhere without feeling lonely and it's wonderful. To feel the warmth and happiness from other people. Never being kicked out. It's the greatest.

[jordankthirteen]

You're not alone buddy.

[angie8675309]

I don't go anywhere I don't have to either. And everyone accepts it, no problem. {{{HUGS}}}

[talula0658]

Man. Story of my life. To compound the problem, one of my best friends lives in the apartment above me. So I don't even have to leave my house to see people. I have totally had the 'get sick' thing.

[479Lucy]

I dont like to go places but I like to be there when I am, finally. I dont drink a lot and I never have anything to say... I just rather stay home, too. But if ppl come over, hen they NEVER leave and that annoys me.

[slab99]

I'm not a social butterfly either, but you don't want to be pegged as the person that never does anything. The only thing worse than not wanting to go to a party is not being invited.

[BoatonSea]

I HATE going out- I only like going out to movies or dinner, and only if it involves my boyfriend, or my parents, or some sort of family or all of the above. It takes too much work to be around other people, that don't know me as well. I don't think Ive ever said that before....at least not outloud. I think it's fabulous that you've made this video.....and yet..i STILL want to have friends...who might be there..sometime.

[timido66]

I am a homebody too. I let my friends drag me around for years. No more. I'm staying home.

[dubaiedge]

i am EXACTLY the same way. & i've never actually heard anyone articluate it before. i have the best intentions but when a day or 2 arrives before I get anxious. for no reason. then if i HAVE to go it's SOSO hard. ugh! but rarely, i'm glad i went. i don't know what else to say.

[Joan3424]

I like to go out to lunch or dinner with friends, but as far as New Year's Eve -- NO WAY! I like staying in, being safe and cozy and away from all the partiers out there. The older I get, the more I appreciate NOT going out! When I was young, I was a New Year's Eve party animal! No more!

Joanie

[LilCav68]

My dad's bday was jan 1 so whatever we did we had to be able to be sober enough to sing happy bday the next day. Now that he is gone, it is just ugh...

I would rather be at home with friends and family...

[IAGuy06]

Kicking and screaming huh.... I'd almost pay to see that. :)

I could have wrote that dialog for you... sounds like me.

[BradThunder]

I like to go places, but usually don't do anything when I get there.

[popparoc46]

Huh. I can empathize. The fireworks on NYE usually wake me up. Personally, nothing is fine with me. - roc

[binsk]

I am not going any place. I have gone places on NYE before, and either you drink and wait 10 hours for a cab or sleep over on somebody's leather sofa (that you keep slipping off of all night) or you don't drink and you are the party pooper who watches everybody else act like idiots.

[kimcristo]

OK, first NY Eve is AMATEUR NIGHT - stay home. Totally over-rated. And, do I know this friend? I think I do. Remember the NYEve we went to "da Centah" and one of our friends dressed in her grandma's green velvet jumpsuit and ran screaming in the street with champagne? LOL! remind me to tell u about a recent b'day party fiasco involving a mutual friend.xxoo K

[ItalianStallionette]

Yeah, and when it all stopped, I sat on the ground and cried. Ahhhhh, the memories. I'm going to bed early this year! hahaah

[ItalianStallionette]

Oh wait. I totally lied. The last time I was awake on NYE was when I was in total kidney failure. Midnight hit, and the country town we use to live in would have some fireworks. Well, all the fireworks and cheering was going on, and I had to run into the bushes and vomitted for a really love time. All I could think was...that this was the last year of my life.

[ItalianStallionette]

Not love, I meant long.. haha

[ItalianStallionette]

You know, I totally hear you on this one. I HATE going out on New Years Eve! HATE IT! I refuse to go out. In fact, I don't think I've stay up past midnight in YEARS for that holiday. Who really cares if it's another year?

[JeepGirl2]

I feel that way a lot of times too. We have a holiday party to go to on Saturday....I want to go....but I don't want to go...the closer it gets; the more I *don't* want to go. Oh, I'm a mess.

heeheee :0)

[bugsinrug]

Oh, stay home then!

luv you Michael, Chris :-)

[msdragonfly1]

nope, homebody. do people say that anymore? I'M NOT ALONE, it makes me nerviouse too. sorry, can't spell

[txnrobin]

me either!! i'm happy right here ;)

[Dlorezzz]

Sometimes people get overinvolved in going someplace all the time so they feel like they have a full life and are not missing out on anything. People that have a happy home life don't have that need . They enjoy their home and their spouse and generally the lifestyle they have set for themselves. Maybe you are happy with your life as it is.

[K80Blog]

I have some friends who don't go anywhere or do anything and everyone else has excepted it. They're stoners.

Maybe you should get people to believe you're a stoner and then they'll know not to ask. Oh...but the paranoid thing...that won't be good for you. : )

[Spiritualperformer]

Hey Mick, the only places I go are the gym, anything creative and maybe somewhere else. Other then that nothing else, but yes I can be one of those people who say they do so something but don't do it.

[krepsye]

take lulu for a walk. then you'll do something and go some place

[dafttool]

New Years Eve is one of the worst nights of the year to go out. The evening is fraught with over-expectations, expensive prices and a crazy energy in the air. Private parties aren't much better. Plus getting home has become a trial as you are forced to drive through a gauntlet of drunken drivers and the police eager (sometimes too much so) to catch them.

[trillian57]

Concentrate on the excitement, and push the anxiety out of the way. I could become a hermit very easily, so I sometimes have to make myself get out and about, around people.  Have fun!

[robogoretex]

mornin pups..:O)yur not alone on this
