I am a 30 year old mother of 3 and I have been dealing with agoraphobia, anxiety and panic attacks for 13 years, due to a car accident. If you have this same problem please talk to me. thanks

Anxiety and panic attacks I've had to deal with since I was a little girl (they got worse as time went on then hit full blown in my late 20s)..I've only ever had 2 or 3 short term bouts of agoraphobia though and that was about 6 yrs ago...and wow what a horrible feeling....13 yrs you've had to deal with it? How do you manage?

and welcome to mylots btw!

it is very hard to deal with. it is so depressing cause i cant go out and do things with my kids. i have been on paxil for 9 years and xanax. i dont know what to do besides just pray and faithfully and trust GOD to heal me and not these meds. thanks

I had agoraphobia, panic attacks and anxiety in my early 20's. It was due to no self esteem and fear of the future.

I finally just said F*ck it, I'm going to die someday and I want to experience the outside world, and have a real life.
It was hard getting out there but with a positive attitude you can make it.

Instead sitting in my room being fearful of going out, saying to myself "what if, what if"...I just went for it, took it one minute at a time and just did it. Sure it was scary but if I didn't get out I would surely die.

The only fear I have yet to conquer is my fear of flying.....

i cant leave my house very much without panicing. i dont understnad it at all. i am meds but they dont help very much. it is hard not to be able to take my kids out anywher, but my hubby does but that is not the same. they tell me all the time they love me no matter what and that i WILL get better. i just have to put my trust in GOD and he will help me.


myLot reputation of 19/100. doniker (416)  3 years ago

I know it's scary but you have to just do it...one minute at a time.

If you freak out, just freak out. Eventually you will calm down and you will be one step farther.

20 years ago I couldn't get myself to go farther than 1 mile from my house. In 2003 we took a trip to Disney which is 1000 miles from my house and I had NO PROBLEM.

JUST DO IT. Time is a wasting. Are you going to miss your kid's graduations, weddings, etc.? JUST DO IT.

I deal with anxiety about leaving the house on occasion. Luckily it doesn't happen every time I need to leave. I am currently pregnant and I'm staying at home, so I'm not getting out regularly. I have to force myself to go out regularly or else I'm afraid it will escalate.

Welcome to myLot! I hope to see more of you again. Have you tried therapy or counseling?


ladyastalos (10)  3 years ago

congradulations on your pregnancy, i wish you well. yes it is important to go out as much as you can so you dont end up like me.

I already posted this in another panic-attack thread but it's worth repeating. I guarantee you there is a link to monosodium glutamate (MSG) in food. It took me years to figure out I was getting the reaction to things I ate because it mostly happens hours later when it reaches your lower bowel. If you follow pollen.com you may also find your attacks following the pollen seasons. Also things like fabric softener and dryer sheets, air fresheners, incense, plug-ins, carpet sprinkles, self-deodorizing cat litter, all that stuff can set you off. Your blood test will show elevated eosinophils. Some people actually have a prolapsed mitral valve.
