About Me
Well I wasn't able to work or go to the store alone(or anywhere). Since then I have come a long way. Lexapro has helped me. I started my own business with animals bc I love them and they make me happy. I hated my other career and it caused me anxiety so I gave it up and am doing what I like now. After 2 years on the lexapro I recently feel like it's not working 100% for me anymore. I might need to change my meds. I try to be grateful for the goods and enjoy them. My husband is very supportive. I have a dog that is a great companion for me. I have great friends and family, but only a couple really understand what i am going through.
Interests
Reading, outdoors, animals.

I have that workbook and have had it set aside for a while! Right now I am going through the loss of my baby and will be having surgery tomorrow. Once I heal emotionally from my loss, I will pick up the workbook again!

I am exactly like you! Agoraphobia is so isolating and none of my friends really understand as they do not have this! They TRY to understand and say they do - they so don't! Hope we can be friends!

Close Anxiety
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Only tooka low dose twice it just took off the edge.
- Breathwork Working / Worked
- If I am having an attack it only helps a little unless I catch it in the beginning. They say if you practice 5 minutes a day it becomes natural.
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- I am currently taking this. I like it. I still have slight symptons of anxiety but only in situations that reaaly bother. I have not had any attacks though.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- Used to use this. It made me very complacent. i gained 30 lbs. When I weaned myself off zi felt very sick.
Close Phobia
Type: Agoraphobia (fear of open spaces)I have agoraphobia O can only go to certain places that are close to my house like my mom or sisters bc they are 2 miles from my house and I know that it is safe. I stopped working august of 2006 bc the panic attacks were so bad and I would get them while I was working. I am a massage therapist and a cosmetologist, so I can't just go outside and get air or take a break in the middle of a client, which made the anxiety even worse. So I took time off to help myself heal.
Treatments
- Acceptance Working / Worked
- I have started taking baby steps like going to the store arounf the corner and each time I stay a little longer. I have also changed alot I don't hold things in anymore.
