News of Agoraphobia Forum

I’m hoping to find some people to connect with on here because being agoraphobic can feel so isolating and sometimes life doesn’t seem worth living anymore.

Anyway I’ve been suffering from this for many years and all the help I’ve tried to get only served to make things worse. I live with my mother which feels terribly embarrassing especially at my age. This is one of the problems that can also compound agoraphobia and low ...

See this site not very active. But will post anyway. This is a new issue for us. Thought it happened suddenly but after reading posts, see it's been developing for awhile. Just recently became an obvious issue. Was laughingly blaming it on Amazon. But there are things Amazon can't do. Like put gas in the car. Passed many gas stations on way from T's. Had urgency to get home. In spite of absolute unviable rule..gas ...

Hello,
I'm a 47 year old woman, struggling with agoraphobia.
I had a short spell of agoraphobia when I was in my early 20s, but managed to pull out of it with the help of therapy and medication.
I had a 10 year reprieve (at the time I mistakenly thought I was over it), and it came back more forcefully in 2004.
For about 6 years medication helped me and kept me functioning, but its ...

I so desperately want to leave my house but I don't know where to go. I lost ALL of my friends, every single one and haven't talked to anyone from my high school. No one has reached out to me.
I go to a community college, which is great and all but I still feel life is empty and has no meaning truly. I just am devastated by the conditions of living in. Im 20 ...

Hi guys,
so I have had agoraphobia since I was around 17 years old and left school. However, I now am attending college (am actually in my 2nd year :D ) It was really hard getting there. But I met some nice people that I could picture being great friends... However, I've been isolated for so long.
Now that school is coming to an end soon, ...

So basically for a little background info, I am on disability and have been for 6 yrs due to bipolar, borderline personality disorder, agoraphobia, ocd, addiction, and an eating disorder. I am in and out of the psych ward constantly and have been since I was 16. At this point my agoraphobia and anxiety in general is SO severe I cannot go past a block away from my house unless its by ambulance. I am ...

Catch me, as i fall: say you're here; and it's all over now.. i'm so tired of fear- like open doors, you give me all but the reason why.

If only for a day; although you're still with me- a breeze will help clear: speaking, to the atmosphere.. No one's here and i fall into myself (trapped by these childish reasoning's).

Hiding behind the mask- the betrayer, this air around me.. Never was; never will ...

A bit over two years ago, I moved to a small town in a regionally distant area from the city I grew up in. At first I thought people here wouldn't be so unpleasant to interact with. Was I wrong. Not being a local, I am consistently scrutinized for any action I make, word I utter or expression I make. And news really does travel faster in a town in contrast to the vast, impersonal ...
