I am sort of there myself. Not that I don't want to be in public situations, but the idea of not being able to find a nice quiet place to deal with my panic makes me panic .

Hi.. I myself have been dealing with agoraphobia for the past few months.. Although I have had panic attack for about 9 years, it's seem to have gotten worse lately, as I cannot leave the house, or be in a room alone always need someone there with me, I'm 27 and shit scared.. If I leave the house I have to have someone with me, i think i am going to die constantly but don't know what off.. I probably leave the house once a week.. Like today I went for a blood test took my sis with me and went in a taxi even though the clinic is a 10min walk from my house, on the way back my sis said lets walk so we did, n I was anxious until we reached the street before ours n that's when I relaxed slightly because all the way home I was thinking I'm going to die any min.. My vision was off everything seemed so bright to me.. Once we reached our street I shouted out I've made it home yes.. Sounds mad but I was soo happy... Now I have a docs appointment in a few days and I'm nervous thinking if il make it there and back without the thought of dying.. I have never felt like this before...

Yes and no I have my main appointment on Thursday.. They assume its due to the fact I have an overactive thyroid, which I was diagnosed with in February I suppose that's what has triggered it off this time but its not seeming to get better, I wake up and first thing I think about is death and that this is my last day..
