Hello, I am a 26 year old male (living with parents) dealing with severe Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, and Emetophobia. I have had anxiety all my life...But for the most part was able to deal with it. I moved out of my parents house when I was 19. When I got my first apartment...My anxiety was very high and hard to live with...Although for the most part I was still able to leave home. I then move out of state (which was kinda difficult...But I adjusted quick and was fine). I then ran into financial problems and was forced to live with my parents for a short time until I could get back on my feet. I soon found a job and began working...80% anxiety free. But things slowly went down hill as my anxiety returned. I started missing work and was eventually fired. Since then my anxiety has become the worst it has ever been!!! I can't hardly eat...Can't leave home unless I NEED to and even then its extremely hard and I have several panic attacks that day (and days leading up to me having to leave home). I have been seeing a primary doctor and psychologist and prescribed:
4MG Klonopin daily
1MG Lorazepam daily (as needed)
50MG Seroquel (Just got that and haven't started yet)
My problem is my parents have separated and are selling the house and getting their own apartments. I am currently on disability...But where I live...I couldn't rent a cardboard box with the money I am getting!!! But I have found an apartment (about 1,000 miles away...Where I previously moved to) which I can afford. I lived there for 3 years and know the town very well...But I also know my current town well...And have panic attacks driving 5 miles to my doctors office.
Has anyone with severe anxiety and agoraphobia been put in a position where you have to move long (short or long distance)? How were you able to cope with it. I am pretty sure that once I get moved into my new apartment...I will be ok (or at least I hope!!!) but I am extremely nervous!!! My scheduled move date is end of August...Almost 2 months away and I already am feeling way more anxious. What can I do to successfully make this move with having a complete breakdown?!!
Thanks for taking the time to read this :) Any answers will be greatly appreciated!!!
