News of Agoraphobia Forum

I first got diagnosed in 2012, only a Freshman (i think that's what it is in America) and had to get home tuition, my first panic attack was hell. I had agoraphobia for a long time before that, since I was a kid, but it built up and up until that one day. I felt like I was really sick, I had an intense fear of puking that brought it to manifest (i can't even ...

Hello everybody, I'm in a really bad situation right now and I'm not sure what to do.

Because of my severe agoraphobia, about a year or two ago I stopped going to school and have just stayed at home for the following years. Just recently I got into online schooling and it's going fine for me because I can usually just do all of my homework, tests, and the like at home with little no ...

I got diagnosed with "Emotionally Unstable Borderline Personality Disorder" last year and I strongly feel I may have signs of agoraphobia too even though its never been detected in assessments over the years.

I leave my house once/twice a week at the most.. this is only ever to appointments, to which I will get a taxi from my house, there and back. I fear absolutely everything. Mainly danger. I feel that people in public are ...

First, I want to apologize if I make mistakes. English is not my first language, I'm from Europe.
That being said, I'm an agoraphobic. It feels a little strange to write this, since for years all I've done is read this forums, but never write, I always stood in the shadows :oops: But I guess I've reached a limit and I need to write, to talk about ...

8 years housebound.

It all started with some trauma that made me decide to have time off work. My 2 weeks off came and I was getting dressed for work and I had this red mark near my eye, some kind of pimple / allergy. I obsessed and pushed it around so much that it made my eyelid swell. Then I totally flipped out and couldn't handle going out the door. I had spent the ...

I stay in my room or in other parts of the house a lot, I don't go outside really at all. I don't know if I'm cured or if I'm just safe at home and not flipping out being safe from groups of people and safe from the outdoors. What do you guys think?

Hey, guys. Brief intro: I'm 28, I've had depression and anxiety since I was about 12, but I've had social anxiety all my life and have always rarely left my house, but it's never been quite this bad.

So, I dropped out of school at 17, basically isolated myself for 5 years until I got my GED, and then... isolated myself for another 6 years. :roll: ...

I never thought of myself as being agoraphobic, just an introvert with ptsd. But I have a problem with sweating at inappropriate times, out of nowhere, profusely. I'm not sure the sweating is a panic symptom, but the thought of breaking out makes me feel, what I believe to be, agoraphobic.
