I walked outside a few houses away. I got anxious and walked back. For me I usually can't even make it out of the front door. Does this still count as progress? I get nervous when I see cars because of my PTSD from being robbed by someone with a car. When I saw a car I turned around and went back home. Also any tips for getting the courage to just do it?
SUFFERING from agoraphobia and PTSD. I live in salt Lake city Utah.
Is there any mental hospitals or detox places that you could suggest in the area? I'm trying to reach out for help right now. I've been suffering from PTSD really heavy and I struggle with alcoholism. I swear it feels like I've tried so much to figure something out but I never seem to. What on earth do I do to get better??
Also my anxiety is so bad that I can't leave the house most of the time so it feels like hell.
How can I get some help or develop some support team?
I've had nobody for so long.
The only way I can kinda get places is if I drink.
On top of this my dad doesn't believe in my disorder and assumes I'm lying about everything and just tells me to "get over it and get a job".. He always tells me I'm a loser for not working and everybody assumes that I'm lying because they never understand agoraphobia.
My mom won't help me and she doesn't even talk to me anymore. And I'm constantly afraid that my dad will kick me out or something because I can't pay my way because I'm constantly in fear of doing anything.
What the hell do I do?? Can somebody just pray for me even. I swear I don't know what to do.
TL:DR
I suffer from agoraphobia and PTSD and don't know what to do or how to get better and I'm severely depressed. Can you help me find some sort of support group somehow?
This is my first time posting on here. I have suffered with agoraphobia since I was 17 and here I am 28 years old still suffering. Will it ever end?
Can you share some of your success stories with overcoming agoraphobia? I'm just trying to get motivated. It's so difficult.
