Fear of being in a crowd, standing in line, riding in a car, bus, etc. Having imaginary "security area" where you feel safe. Anxiety increases, the further from that area you go. Feeling housebound.
Agoraphobia usually results from an unresolved panic disorder. Rather than deal with and manage the panic disorder, the agoraphobic just avoids the situations and locations where they had panic attacks.
While there are medicines to reduce the anxiety symptoms, you should also try to discover and treat any underlying panic disorder. Make sure this treatment includes therapy to retrain your thought patterns and actions so, eventually, you won't need the drugs.
Usually, by the time an anxiety disorder reaches the point of agoraphobia, self-help is difficult. You should seek qualified medical help for this condition.
Health conditions can be frustrating and painful...sometimes even fatal. We both know there are no guaranteed cures or quick fixes, whether medicine, nutrition, herbs or anything else. Many illnesses are "incurable" from the medical standpoint. Complete healing is possible...including mind, body and spirit...from God. If you want God's help with this or any problem, go to Help From God.
