Why Do I Feel Like This?????

Hi Paulina, Yeah it's great to have someone to share how one feels about things. Especially trying to cope with this agoraphobia and anxiety. I sometimes get on here and post messages but people don't often write back. I too like to hear about what other people think and what's it like for them. Thanks for writing. You know about the chatter, that is what gets me at times. My mom tends to always be naggin' about this and that and it always upsets me. I worry because she worries. I too have also noticed that when I am having bad days when I don't feel well that is when I get that awful chest feeling, the days I feel good is when I do good out there. Well I am trying my best. I just sometimes feel like I don't get anywhere. I wanna be like old times when I was well. I get bored being stuck here at home. Sometimes I want to get out and do things, but I don't. This "fear" stops me. And it's not like I don't want to get better. I DO!! But I don't know how?? Well I hope you are well and you can write me anytime you want bcastellan@hotmail.com, I too find it comforting to have someone to talk to about these "fears" Take Care! :)

You're welcome Barbara! Remember, one baby step at a time and don't beat yourself up for bad days or moments. Be proud of each and every step you take, whether it be 5 seconds or 5 minutes outside. Also, maybe if you tell your family about the "chatter", they will chill it down a bit. (I know that when we go out with our kids sometimes they can be loud and chaotic and I get real panicky and many days avoid going with them...so I can totally understand what you are saying.) I have also found that how I physically feel on a certain day makes a world of difference on how I do with the "fears". Make sure you get plenty of rest and take care of yourself. I take extra vitamin B and that helps me, too (a liquid form). The stress of all this robs our bodies of the B vitamins and they help give us energy. Please let me know how you are doing. I haven't had much contact with other agoraphobics and I find it comforting to know there are other people who can fully relate to what I feel and live with everyday. Good Luck! :)

Thank you Paulina, That does make sense. It is true that my cousin is my "safe" person. I guess I feel very comfortable around her because she makes me feel it and I know she will get me out of a situation is needed. My family though, they know what I am going through and encourage me to get out but like I said I try to with them but I just can shake out the chest feeling. My mom tries to talk me out of what I am feeling, my sister says she will bring me back home, but I still don't feel very comfortable with them. Maybe because they make me anxious. They are always up and going everywhere. Their constant running around and noisy chatter I think is what gets to me. I don't know, but I do really need to and want to get out more without being fearful and full of anxiety. Thanks for your advice. I'm going to try to work on getting out with them some more.

Hi! What you are experiencing is not uncommon with those of us that suffer agoraphobia. Your cousin is your "safe" person and that's why it's easier to do things with her. We tend to feel more comfortable with certain individuals. Try talking to your mother and sister about how you are feeling. Maybe then you can find the same level of comfort as with your cousin. Also, you may have some hidden personal issues with them that needs tending. Are all these people aware of your situation? And how do they respond to it? I know that I can go out with certain people and not others, too. For me, I have figured out it is because I know they truly understand what I am going through and will be compassionate if I panic versus make fun or belittle me. These individuals usually comfort me and talk to me until I am comfortable in what we are doing. They make me feel like they could take control if something happened...which in turn, makes me feel safer. I wish you the best...I know hard this all is, as I have lived it on and off for many, many years. In honesty, the true answer is to find the safety within ourselves. :)

I suffer from panic/anxiety attacks and have some agoraphobia. Whenever I try and get out of the house I usually go out with my cousin. I have been able to get out with her more and feel fine. I do get nervous and experience anticipatory anxiety but after awhile I usually forget about it and have a good time and actually enjoy myself like old times. I have been able to go places such as her house, stores for a bit, I even went out to a hang out bar. Whenever I am with her I am fine. My problem is that whenever I try to get out of the house with my mom or my older sister I usually don't want to. I have tried, and the few times I have gotten out with them I start getting very nervous and get major anicipatory anxiety. The worst syptoms I usually get with them is feelings of unreality and my chest starts to tighten up and feels real heavy and uncomfortable. It's horrible!! It feels like I can't breath or can't catch my breath! I feel like I am going to lose it! And it only happens whenever I try to get out with them. Why is this?? How can I get past it??? Any advise???? Please Help!! This is the only thing that I have not been able to overcome so far.
