Can you develop agoraphobia from having panic attacks in public? #mentalhealth #panic #panicattack

I started having panic attacks while driving and on freeways. The freeway or highway is the absolutely WORSE!! I havent driven on a highway in 4 years smh.

I’ve had agoraphobia for more than 20 years it is so bad right now I can’t leave the house. 😢

And also like I say. If you’re afraid do it afraid. You will have so many wonderful beautiful memories to share even if you do have a panic attack no one in history has ever died from a panic attack

Yep! We got operant and classical conditioning to thank for the agoraphobia! It can also stem from or cause social anxiety.

I have agoraphobia and haven’t gone anywhere in over a year. 😢

Lol I had this thought and started going to hypnotherapy and getting EMDR - remember it’s a phobia and phobias are IRRATIONAL

I’ve been having panic attacks for years now when ever I leave the house but I’ve always pushed through and faced it, but a month ago when I get them I have to use the bathroom right away and I nearly pooped on myself in the car in front of my family I barely made it to a restroom, then I got back in the car and as soon as we started driving it happened again. This happened 5 times in a row before I was able to get in the car and make it home. Now every time I leave the house I start to vomit and need to use the bathroom. I can’t leave my house anymore. No one understands or cares I’m a mom of 5 and I’m suppose to just be better and make it work but I can’t.

I was told I wasted everyone's time im only 5 stone 2 with osteoporosis im tall enough at 5 foot 1 my waist is 21 inches and my hips are very flat. That leads me to be off balance. The care worker rushed me during shower and made me feel bad for trying to make appointment to confirm I might be putting on some badly needed muscle. I now can't go further than the house for fear ill waste another's time and will only so open water swimming where there are no people as according to her showers have to be lightening fast. I'd psoriasis and the creams took 2 shampoos took 5 mins to wash out
Every one else has a 10 min shower one slip and my hips broken.
