Anxiety and agoraphobia ruining my life
Hi all, happy Tuesday.
So I have crippling anxiety and ocd which was well managed for years until mid last year after a panic attack I had a major set back and I’m still no where near back on track.
I can barely leave the house besides going to and from work (which is still iffy some days) due to panic attacks and emetophobia (I now constantly feel nauseous). I have had some wins over the last year but they’re so minuscule compared to what my life used to be I don’t feel like they are pushing me forward.
ontop of all that, the incident at Bondi Junction over the weekend has caused me another massive set back. I’m very lucky to have not been involved, however it hits very close to home for me.
Since this my agoraphobia has increased to the worst it’s probably ever been and I’m terrified to even leave my front door. I can’t imagine how I’m going to get past another hurdle now and no one seems to understand the intensity and severity of how I’m feeling as I try to play a positive spin so nobody gets too concerned.
I’ve been put up on my new meds as of the other day as the current solution and besides that I can’t see my pysch for another two weeks. when I do try and reach out to people I just think it’s frustrating to them and I don’t know what else to do.
thanks for listening.
