someone wants to help
Quote From: evamarionI am 60 years old and have had agaraphobia for the last i years. I panic everytime I get dressed to go anywhere. I will make a million excused why I can wait and do it another day until my back is against the wall and I have no choice. I have anxiety so bad that I run from it by telling myself, I don't need things but I know thats just a lie. I was very active before this, and it makes me so angry because I'm a people person and I've shut out the world trying to cope with this on my own. I went to therapy for years but it didn't seem to help much. I would love to be able to share with someone about how I can get my life back. I didn't get to be this old to deserve nothing more than just stay in and not live. It' like I'm just existing and I would love to be able to be with people and laugh and dance the way I used to before this anxiety and panic struck me. I read your posting and wanted to let you know that there is someone here who wrote about their son's generalized anxiety disorder and wants to start a support group. I have emailed him to participate myself (a fellow agorophobic) and can't wait for the group to get to 10 people so we can get things rolling. the email address is rowdens@shaw.ca - give it a try and let's all hope that life can get back to the way it was.
