Broken Inside! Breaking Free of Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia

Interesting

I have agoraphobia and have for close to a year!! I'm home bound except to go to my therapist once a week, I have hypnosis done! The thought of going out of town no matter how far or close overnight is impossible for me, if I go out at all it's for a drive where I stay in the car while my husband drives and we go through a drive thru unless a restaurant is empty then I may go in and hurry incase it gets busy!! I'm only on Prozac which I don't know if it's helping or not ! The isolation is unreal I only talk snd see my husband and sons , I have lost all my friends because I always make excuses not to meet with them! It's been months since I have seen my family I can't go to my grandkids birthday parties or any holidays because of the panic attacks! I don't talk about what's going on with me to my mom because she has it in her mind that it's all in my mind and I can snap out of it any time , if only I could !! To be home bound is very hard I shop on line haven't had my hair cut in months because I'm scared to go even though my husband said he would go with me snd wait !! I was mistreated as a child being the oldest of 5 I took the pain rather then have any of them hurt!! I'm hoping my inner child is feeling my love for her and soon I can go back out and work and have a normal life.
