Meds...journaling...taking a walk

[BallOfNerves]

So I went to the doctors today and expressed how about my agoraphobia has been getting and was told Hey take a walk and do a gratitude journal. Also was put back on buspar. Does anyone else here suffer from agoraphobia along with their anxiety? I wouldn't say that I really have anxiety more so straight up panic disorder. I also have health anxiety which I'm active on that board as well. I hope everyone is having a good Monday and thanks in advance for any replies

Ball, hi..
At times I get really bad tension headaches & nausea when I go out in public.
It's bizarre, bcuz I've always been a very outgoing, social person. But it was like a switch flipped.. and now this agoraphobic suffering is a regular thing.
I have a family & full time job, so I have to go out every day. I agree with u tho, I don't think it's (traditional) anxiety causing my agoraphobic symptoms either. It's more like a flipped amygdala (?) My body is just often on (unnecessary) high alert in public.
Praying we'll be healed. Take care, and ps- exercise is good for a over-sensitized system. I bike & lift weights.

I know what you mean about being social. I used to be very social and then this all hit me and now I'm very introverted and sad.

There was a time when I worked from home that I felt like I was developing agoraphobia, but currently right now it's more of a mix of other things. I'm an introverted empath and have anxiety, so being around groups of people, especially strangers, is extremely draining in multiple ways. I feel like my tolerance level for those types of situations is growing smaller as I get older. I have to leave the house to go to work and to do my adulting, see family/friends, but for the most part I like being a hermit.

Hi BallOfNerves,

I was curious as you said, you used to be very social but then all of a sudden, this happened. I guess, my question is, did something happen right before onset of agoraphobia or was it just random and you don't know how it happened ?

Thanks!

It was a slow onset and by the time I thought about it, it had a grip on me
