I can't leave my house.
Posted , 34 users are following.
my anxiety has gotten so bad that I can't leave my house. I've been in my house (never really leaving my bedroom as it's the only place I feel safe) for two months. I can't even go to the doctors which is a 30 second drive from my house.
i wish I could explain how badly I feel. I cry constantly, I have no friends and my family don't understand why I am like this and I am really scared I'm going to end up having a mental breakdown.
At least three times a day I am in the corner of my bathroom rocking back and forth sweating, crying, racing heart, feeling the need to run but I have no where to run too. I am literally stuck and I can't pick myself back up.
I have no idea what to do, I don't want to go to the doctors because I'm scared and I am already on so much medication (venlafaxine, mirtazipine, diazepam and propranolol) I wake up every two hours in a cold sweat panicking... I don't know what to do.. How do I get help? Who do I talk to about getting the help I need?

Things getting worst, I am still feeling extremely dipressed and anxious and not able to get out of the house.
I did therapies even ECT but nothing help. I have daily sevre stresser in family and failed to cope. Some one advised me to leave the town away from where you
live but it's not possible as I'm dependant and not having any resources to do that besides I don't have health insurance coverage outside
the town where I live. I don't know what to do? Secondly everyone in family seems abandon me in house and disconnected with me due my prolong sickness. Don't know what to do and how to continue living like this with very stressful environment around with complet nagativity. Now it seems impossible to continue living like this and having no alternative too.

Hi momo7. Again, let me say how sorry I am to read about what you're suffering through. You have been in my prayers.
(It might be best to start a new topic to ask for advice, as more people may notice your post that way.)
Have you seen an actual psychiatrist as well as your family doctor?
I found this website on treatment-resistant depression which I hope may be of some help. You are certainly not the only person to have gone through this ordeal, so please don't give up hope of improving xx

I see you posted this plea for help two years ago now, and I have only just read it, so I wonder how you are doing now?
?I am just like you, but my problems have been going on for about 6 years now, and I have got worse. I have tried making myself go out, and I am lucky if I can do a one off without chocking and being sick, and almost passing out. Even though I do make it once, I do not seem to be able to do it again!
?I am not taking any medication, only drinking g & t which helps me relax, but I am aware it can make anxiety worse.
I too have no one to help, and only go out to walk my dog now.

Is there anyway you can set up an appointment with a counselor? If money is an issue, some local communities have free or low-cost counseling in your area. It depends on your income. Not sure where you live but if you are in the US, You can call your State and they may be able to assist you in finding a low-cost counseling.
if you are feeling panicky, go to YouTube and search for panic attack emergency or just panic attack and they guide you through it.
You don’t have to be completely alone.
Also you can search for “mindfulness breathing guided meditation 10 minutes” this helps you get your breathing under control as well as your focus . It really helped me when I was feeling anxious and panicky.
There are many many great audio meditations on YouTube for anxiety, depression, panic, sleep etc. I like to use earbuds for a better effect. Many of these will instantly calm you down as they did me. But beyond that, you really need to speak with somebody in person to help you manage this. You don’t have to be alone and go through this.
Do you have any family in the area?
So, you can Google counseling or call your state or local community Center. And you can also do the short meditation’s.
One day at a time!,
let us know how you are doing! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🙂
