My whole life is being controlled by agorophia. I am the single mother of a two -year-old, I work from home, thank goodness, but I get so much panic and anxiety over running the simplest of errands that I can't so much as file paperwork in my office or write out bills. It has completely consumed my life. I sit around and feel so much guilt over the things that I don't do for my beautiful child, I do the best I can, but I feel like a horrible mom so much of the time Even worse, I feel like a prisoner. I have tried going to doctors and talking to them ttry explain how I feel. Sometimes it takes me four or five cancellations just to make it to my appointment and even then I have to take medicine to get there. A few times I had to be driven there. Still, I feel like no matter what I say they don't get it they don't believe me they don't seem to comprehend what I'm trying to explain. I feel so helpless. I just don't know what to do. att this point. I know I need to make a big change in my life, and fast, because I can't keep going on like this. I only get so much support from my family and friends and it gets old for fhem. Iit makes it very hard on our relationships. No matter how hard I try to put on a good face and smile, there's always so much fear and so much panic and so much anxiety. I feel pathetic and I ashamed and just don't know what happened to me. So if anyone out there has any advice to give I am all ears because at this point I think it's going to take a miracle to get my life back on the right path. All I want is to be a good mom. The kind of mom I always pictured myself being. Good luck to everyone else out there who suffer with this debilitating disease. Thanks you for reading. I understand.

I try to act as normal as i can to people and find it really difficult to talk to anyone about my feelings, i completely empathise with you about building a prison for yourself in your own head. Living with this is actually exhausting!! everything i do be it going up the hill to the shop has to be planned in my head and i have to drive as i cannot walk outside! i could go on and on as you probably understand i just wanted you to know you are not alone. I hope you are well as you get this love and kind regards..leighann xx hi there i have just read your post and could not stop crying.. i have suffered panic attacks and anxiety for years and only went to my doctor in the past year! like you i also relied so much emotionally, physically and financially on my partner who eventually left me and my daughter 5 years ago.
