Agoraphobia because of panic attacks are ruining my life and i’m wondering if any of you have tried using EFT as a cure. Thanks for any responses and any information as to natural remedies.

I have had horrible mouth pain for a few weeks now and I need to go see my doctor and dentist the only thing is I have agoraphobia and I dont leave the house much. Just the thought of going to the dentist or doctors shakes me up and I keep canceling my appointments. I do relaxation visualizations to help my relax but it doesnt help for this. Any suggestions?? Thanks

I researched my phobia, and I think it’s called agoraphobia. I’m not afraid of open spaces, but I am of going out in public. I’m 18, and I want to get a job to earn some money, because my parents don’t want me to be a in the house all day being lazy. I see the news, and I see innocent people getting attacked, or robbed, and I fear that I would be assaulted in the street. How can I over come this feeling?

Agoraphobia is one of the more restricting and depressing conditions related to panic attacks. While some people know it as a fear of open spaces it is actually a fear of a loss of control where the sufferer will panic once they leave a place of control and security which is usually their own home which leads to the misconception about open spaces. So ‘how to overcome agoraphobia’ actually means ‘how to remain calm when not in total control of a situation’ and while most agoraphobia treatments know this they tend to approach it in the wrong way.

I am currently seeing a family doctor who is prescribing me 3mg of klonopin a day and I am still extremely anxious and having panic attacks. I will be seeing a psychiatrist soon. Thanks for your help :-)

I had it when I was younger and it somehow became managable in my early twenties. I am 38 now and it has come back, I will have treatment this time and was wondering how it is treated and how long it will take to respond to it. I was diagnosed with ptsd about 10 yrs. ago and recently was diagnosed with the agoraphobia also social phobia, panic disorder and anxiety disorder. Is all of this just different aspects of the ptsd? Please help, this is horrible and lonely, if you have experienced this I would like to hear from you. Thanks.

My friend has had social anxiety since I can remember, but shows signs of panic disorder and agoraphobia from what I’ve read online. Can someone have all three? Over the years I’ve become drained and just can’t deal with her avoidance, fear, and compulsive questions for reassurance about how she looks, sounds, walks, etc. It’s driving me nuts!!!!!!

I don’t want to stop being her friend, but if she does not get help, I risk losing my own peace of mind by allowing her to constantly pull me into her world of fear. Also, I just can’t stand seeing her this way. Unless myself and another friend visits her she is always alone in that small apartment with nothing but her computer, tv, and radio. I know she is “not” psychotic, dangerous, or anyting like that. But this is nuts!!!

Im from Pakistan. Im suffering from Panic Anxiety and Agoraphobia due to which i ve become house bound and thus unable to get out of my house without the help of my father whom i trust and who is a Doctor himself. Im suffering from this condition for the past 03 years. I ve lost my job due to my condition and im jobless for the past 02 years. I cant get a job bcoz i cant get out of my house alone or with anybody except my father. It ll be a great help if somebody can guide me to find an online job, in which i can work from home, over the internet. I ll appreciate any kind of job that i can do sitting in my home at Pakistan. By the way, im an Avionics Engineer and im equally interested in electronics designing, If at all somebody could lead me to such a task, so that i can design or work in my field from home. However, this is not a compulsion, i appreciate any type of online jobs. (No online surveys, please, they dont work in my country).

Thanks

Hi. I am 16, 6ft, and weight about 235 pounds. I am very fat, and I am desperate to lose weight, to build confidence.

I have agoraphobia and anxiety, and it is very hard for me to go out and exercise or join the gym. Is there anyway that I can lose weight then in the house. All I have are light weights. So, is there anyway to lose weight. Or could I lose weight walking around my park for an hour four times a week?

Thanks

Agoraphobia has been considered a serious condition by many, across the globe. The condition has also been referred to as one of the most depressing and restricting conditions associated with a problem of panic attack. One of the major problems with this condition is that it has been misinterpreted as a fear of open places. However, the truth is that it is a fear associated to loss of control. The patient tends to panic as soon as they exit a place of security and control. The sufferers consider home as this place.

When treated from an early stage, Agoraphobia can be cured easily. However, since a lot of people are unable to recognize the symptoms, they reach a stage where the condition becomes worse and they tend to fear whether or not cure is possible.
