I haven't left the house in a month, what should I do?
Posted , 9 users are following.
I'm 16 and suffer from agoraphobia which has started to take over my life..I wake up and feel awful, I get nausious, sometimes vomit and feel like I'm choking, as well as shaking.
My first panic attack was in a shopping centre which has stopped me from wanting to leave my house, it's the only place I feel safe
I want to try and go out again and a month ago I did, I managed to walk around the block and was very proud of myself but now I've got back to square one.
It's not that I don't want to go outside, it's that I'm scared that I'll have an attack.
I just wish this demon inside me would go!
Does anyone have any tips about how they manage to go outside?
The only place I can manage is my garden!

Bonnie has some good tips. I have been seeing a therapist and been working on my phobias and panic attacks. You have to train your brain that there is nothing to fear when you go out. By doing that is to try at your pace to go outside to a point where you start to feel uncomfortable and try to stay there for as long as you can. If you escape to soon, you are telling your brain to still be afraid. It can be really hard but push through it, the anxiety symptoms wont harm you . I know how uncomfortable it is. If you try it let me know how it goes.

Take 7-10grams a day and apparently within 2-4months it may get rid of agriphobia.
i have a depression book and it says it was scientifically proven. you may see improvements within the first week.
i have agriphobia wouldn't leave house in months
there were even days i couldn't walk from one room to another in my own home but i seen improvements after 1week i started leaving the house locally at least for now as i have many other issues to accomplish.
Best of luck guys 😊
