Well I'm a newbie here lol. I just wanted to introduce myself before I head off the computer. I suffer from agora with panic as well as probably social anxiety as well. Possibly some others to lol.
I am a 30 yr old woman who is trying desp. to get out of this agora. I am just about housebound and have been for about 2 yrs now. I was diagnosed with panic disorder when i was 15 I believe, shorty after a family incident. I will never forget the first panic panic attack! lol.
Oh gosh sorry if this is jumbled but there's so much to me and my story so I'm trying to short form it all.
I guess I will just fast fwd for now. The agora slowly crept up on me. Yet looking back I can see the behaviours/signs. I just wish that my doctor at the time did as well or I don't think I'd be where I am today. Maybe I would I'm not sure.
I guess I'm just looking for more support etc. I need to get better. I want and need to be able to go out and enjoy life. I am currently on ODSP and have next to nill real life support system.
I have made progress with the agora however with this disorder comes set backs and boy am I in one now. I was able to make it to a few small stores around here, now I can not again. I had a major panic attack one day while going out to the store, froze, took my water and a half of xanax, breathed yet i could not shake it. So I fled home. That was 3 mths ago.
I hate this disorder I do. I call it the demon. I am trying to keep at the baby steps, going out as much as I can without sending myself into a pa yet I'm stuck...and well here I am.
Ok I think i've written enough for now.
I just know that i need to get better, I need to be able to get to my doctors in a month or less, I want to live again.
I'm glad I found this site .
Thank you,
Jen
ps I spell horrible lol.
