So today is my first day as a tribe member. I have just joined up to find some more support.

About me.. well ive struggled with anxiety, depression and agoraphobia on and off for 12 years.

its a constant daily battle thati live with.

At the moment im in an agoraphobic stage.. So im not driving. which is making life very difficult :-(

My husband has just moved away leaving me with our 3 kids whilst he works in the mines. And i miss him terriably,. I think that this has triggered this round. lol

Guess i want to know im not alone.. and that people are going through the same thing,..

hi. i'm kinda new too....think i joined a couple months ago but have been really busy lately...
you are not alone. i am no longer agoraphobic, despite the need to increase me anxiety medications because i can't deal with life. i was agoraphobic as a kid in college...the past 12 years have been all about me not being this way. i figured if high payed therapists treat people with exposure therapy, surely i could learn it and do it myself.
it would have been harder i think if i had three children and a husband that have to leave for work...you aren't alone at all!!

Oh Honey you are not alone. I have struggled with the anxiety/panic off and on for years. Till now I haven't had any for 20yrs. I was diagnosed @ 27yrs.old and at 47 I have it again so I went 20yrs without any anxiety or panic at all,my therapist is trying to find the "TRIGGER". But this time I have agoraphobia in which I never had before I just couldn"t be alone then or now. What things do you do to try and take your mind off of the attacks? Years ago coloring worked for me but this time around nothing is working. I pray that you and everyone of us get well, life's too short for us to be like this we need to live it to the fullest for ourselves as well as our families. Take Care Sweetie.
