I woke up yesterday, and the first thought in my mind was, "suicide might be our only option". Now, I'm not trying to alarm anyone, because I don't think I would ever even try to off myself, but...

Last night I went out at around midnight for a ride. I drove up this huge road two times that had these long red lights. Then I went to the other side of town. It's funny, as soon as I got to the...

thank you both for your responses. I'm just gonna keep taking cracks at this till I see improvement.

Yesterday i went out to the laundromat right near my house to put some things in the dryer. Then I went a bit further to sit in an empty parking lot that I had some trouble with in the past. I sat...

This is terrific!!! So glad to see something positive here. Can you both give me any specific tips in case I missed anything? Or should I just do as you both have said and go out and say
"Fuck you...

Yea I know exactly how you feel. I think you're doing the right thing though, and that's great. I know for a fact that I've had anxiety for my whole life as well. It was just sleeping, till I had my...

I have been thinking about how most of us on this forum have this agoraphobia that we are trying to overcome, and something made me question why we have our avoidance behaviors. I mean, the simple...

Thanks D! I appreciate your feedback.

Hello friends. I had a pretty good weekend. My little bro came up to stay with me for the weekend. I took him driving in a parking lot right near my house so that he could practice for his license....

So you got the books and the DVD's then? Please let us know how it works for you. Keep us posted Em. Thanks in advance.

I saw this thing on google, as I'm sure many of you have. This ad for this book and a bunch of DVDs for this program called "Panic Away". I downloaded the book off of a torrent website, but I...

Thanks a bunch. I'll try it out next time I'm alone.

I've spent quite some time dwelling on the emotional state of being that the majority of us agoraphobics suffer through either right before having a panic attack or during one. Most of the time, at...

Last night I decided to go out for a night ride. There's a restaurant literally right around the corner from my new house, and I decided I would go over there and get a job application. I figure that...

Haha, I know sounds horrible but it was true. And now, whenever I get uneasy or anxious, my stomach acts up. Even when I'm not anxious, I shit at least 3 times a day. I eat healthy, but I definitely...

Idk whether or not describing my first full blown anxiety attack to some of you guys will help or not, but I figured I would to see what you had to say. Almost four years ago, in the summer of 2010,...

I hope you find peace, comfort, and resolve very soon. You seem like a sweety with a big heart. :)

Funny thing about PTSD, is that for awhile I thought I might have had it, but, I'm pretty sure...

No it's a traffic kind of thing. I mean, I've been in a fender bender or two before, and when I first got my license and first car, and drove into shit and banged up my old stationwagon, haha, but...

Thanks Alan. You were the first dude to answer my first two postings. Really appreciate it man!

I've slowly started my path to my recovery of my agoraphobia and am feeling pretty good about that. I have even started doing this thing where I won't let myself experience any sexual pleasure if I...

Thank you both for your responses. I always listen to music when I drive in my car. I went out today and didnt have any anxiety at all. I didn't go very far, but they were a bunch of other cars on...

So what you recommend that I do if I am out sitting in an open space and the panic symptoms start to come on? I wanna stay and surrender to them, so that I won't be going against my best interests in...

Hey I'm new here. I posted a huge post last night, but I'm ot sure if any of the moderators are going to post it. If they choose to, I will delete this post. Anyway, I have agoraphobia and I think i...
