Ok Silvio is full of anger, as most people on this thread. Look , I just joined and already I feel worse and I though this would be helpful. But hopefully I can help you. No one else here can help because they don't even want to help themselves. I've sent out good advice and things that helped me to cope, but no one wants help. But you do, and that's so great. I feel that I got this condition so I can overcome it and help other people overcome it. I'm still coping but I've come so far in the past few months, and I'm actually proud of myself. I still have a problem with flying and going really far from home, but I'm working full time and I can go where I want with in my set limits. But this coming up week I set a new goal for myself and I plan on crushing it too.
How far into this are you? Are you housebound or are you functioning but with meds, what's your status. I can help better if I know where you're at. My best advice is to go on some real sites and learn as much as you can about agoraphobia. You'll learn that it is curable, easily but not quickly. Also that you're not crazy and panic attacks won't hurt you. You can actually stop a panic attack by egging it on. It sounds scary but it actually works. If you think, c'mon hit me with what you've got, then you'll start thinking, well shit that's all you've got! Ok you're probably thinking that I'm crazy for talking to myself, but all you have to do is change your thoughts. Read my post response to a post about making a list of what helps so other can read it. I put some things in there that hopefully will help someone. I can teach you a lot about this condition if you want to learn. You're so brave for seeking help anyways, so keep going with that bravery and you'll beat this thing too! God bless.
