I was just wondering if any agoraphobics have found real ways to support themselves with financial aid. I am unable to get financial aid and somewhat opposed to the idea as it is so it would be nice to hear some ideas from people who actually do the things they are suggesting.

Okay so I've had it before that my stomach has tightened for no good reason for days and caused me pain and that didn't cause anxiety but not last night but the night before I got stomach and back/chest muscle tightness and although my panic goes up and down I just want to know if this is common...

Basically like the title says. I don't know why but even though who ever does actually talk to me love me everyone else (majority of people) avoid me like the plague. Also you know that look people give babies or dogs where they can't help but smile? People do that around me alot... don't know...

I have decided that I am going to record my journey through this mess of life. At first I just wrote in a journal every evening what happened that day but I figure people out there must be going through something similar and my experiences may help other, or others may be able to help me. I will...

Is anyone else so afraid of dying that it makes them afraid of living because if you don't do anything accidents are less likely to happen and it could prolong your life? I am. I've read so many times people saying oh I have these dreams that I want to do someday but it seems like its never...

Well I'm in the middle of a panic attack right now. I decided I was going to try and get through this one without freaking out to my friend on the phone or crying to my mom. *deep breath* Just everything feels off balance and then I think about my breathing and chest pains and I just need some...

This is more generalized anxiety or medical anxiety then social anxiety but how do you cope with your anxiety while your sick. I can feel a cold coming on and I haven't had one in a really really long time and I'm sitting here already anxious at the thought of being sick.

I was lying in bed (I know not a shocker) and the thought came to me. I hide in my house in my room afraid and I think on some subconscious level I think as long as I don't 'live' time wont go by. Like as long as I don't do anything nothing will change I'll never grow up and I'll never die. Its...

Okay its hard to describe but I figure 'someone' out there has to have the same thing. I have this thing where at any random point I will put my hands behind my head and flick my hair sometimes only for a second sometime for fifteen minutes straight. It doesn't really effect my life that much...

I can't guarantee this will help anyone but I have noticed that a lot of the peoples problems on here are quite similar. So in that idea I want you to post what you would have said to yourself back when your anxiety first happened, or within the first few years if you've been at it for a really...

My names Leah and two years ago my mom had a heart failure (she lived) but shortly after I started to get panic attacks. As time progressed things went down hill started going out less and for the last month haven't left the house at all. I am constantly afraid of everything and I am tired of...

I am overly shy to the point where it is retarded, online sure why not lets be outgoing but in real life I can't even start a conversation with someone who's paid to talk to me. If I go to a store or an office or something (well before I became agoraphobic) I would just stand there for twenty...
