Don't want to leave the the house am i an agoraphobic?!
Question: Don't want to leave the the house am i an agoraphobic?
I find myself stuck in the house not wanting to go into public. I fear talking to people having one on ones. I am unemployed right now and i don't even want go to interviews or even go back to work i fear it so badly. I find it hard to even go to the grocery store i just want to look at the floor or run and hide. I also suffer massive depression that seems to be just as bad as the agoraphobia. I'm a mess pretty much id like to know if there is any way out of this or will i be stuck this way the rest of my life? Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Answers:
It sounds like agoraphobia but only a doctor or psychiatrist can diagnose it. The only way to get better is to get on anti - anxiety medication and go to therapy. Don't worry. With the right treatment, you will be back to "normal" in no time. It will take a while to work but it will work and you will be able to be well and happy again.
I have agoraphobia too so if you need any support, feel free to email me okcupidgirl@yahoo.com
