the fear of the fear, worst feeling ever. Knowing you have to face it eventually
I suffer from this disorder. It's horrible. The key is too live a stress-free life. And slowly facing your fears little by little.
Yes
I will agree with you but Psychedelics provided me with an organic solution enabling me to finally break free from the shackles of big pharma, endless doctor visits, psych doctor appointments, and the expenditures that go with all that to treat my anxiety and depression. I always get some from him on Instagram .. and It allowed me to not just live again. But FEEL ALIVE again! To say microdosing saved my life is a gross understatement! Thanks for posting and PLEASE continue your advocacy! It just might save someone’s life some day! ❤️🍄💙
@@charleswalter977 glad you found something that works for you!
@@JoseFuentes-fn3dl how u doin right now
@@shahop5 I've gotten better recently. My Dr reassessed my meds and made some changes. After 5 years of being too sick I found a job work from home. So far dealing with stress ok. We will see after a couple more months how things go but feel positive about it. I can now drive longer distances. Can wait at red lights without panicking. Lol Thanks for asking!
Over a year and a half ago, I loved driving. I enjoyed driving long distances by myself, loved driving anywhere and everywhere. Any chance I could drive, I took it. Then 1.5 years ago, after 10+ years of anxiety and depression, I had a bad, bad panic attack while driving to work on the freeway. I thought I was having a heart attack (my health was not the best at the time) and the emergency department did not respond to my calls. I slowly drove home while having my mom on the phone to talk to me and keep me grounded on what I was doing. It was a painful 17 minutes and the attack just didn't improve. Thereafter, I felt like I was going to die every single day. From rapid heart rate, little pains in my body, feelings of tunnel vision, I had to sleep in a room with other people because I was afraid to die alone. I couldn't go out. I couldn't hang out with friends. I couldn't even bear to drive on the free way or alone. I couldn't be alone at home for fear of something happening while I was alone. Something I absolutely loved doing was taken away from me. Before then, I had refused any kind of help for the anxiety and depression, but after having daily panic attacks for a few weeks after the incident, I finally went to go see my PCP. I was started on medication (zoloft) and it was a literal lifesaver. After a few months my life slowly, slowly started to improve. The feeling that I was going to die every day gradually went away. I slowly started going out to places again (the first place I chose was the movie theater, and I was terrified I was going to have a panic attack there 😅). I've gotten more comfortable being away from home (albeit, I'm almost always out with someone, except when it comes to work). I was sometimes even able to drive on the freeway to work without feeling the attacks coming on. Yes, I still continued to have panic attacks on the occasion after starting zoloft. I was also given a sedative to take in case of bad panic attacks. Though I still have an occasional panic attack while driving, if i wake up in the middle of the night, i'm someplace new, or just minding my own business, I've not had to take one of those sedatives in over a year now (knock on wood). Sure, I still freak out over these panic attacks on the occasion, especially if I'm alone. I'm still learning to conquer them and accept that they are happening but that I will be ok. But i have had moments i feel them coming and dont get scared of them happening. I had a stressful day recently and I woke up in the middle of the night with a sort of bad panic attack and I had the sedative in my hand, ready to take it. But In my mind I said, "no, I can overcome this". And I didn't take it. I know healing is not a straight line. It will have its ups and downs, and yes it is frustrating. But even if you regress a little, that doesn't mean you are not improving. Every small improvement, no matter how small, is still an improvement. It's ok to cry out of frustration or show moments of weakness. It's all part of the healing. I'm very sorry to all of you suffering from this. It is definitely not something we would ever wish on our worst enemy. But I know we are capable of healing and overcoming our fears in the future. ❤
Your comment describes my whole life for the past year. Do u have any way I could reach out to u? I’d love to get more info from u
How long were u on zoloft
I feel you.....🙏🏻
I never new that panic disorder was the worst thing. I used to not care about anything and then out of nowhere I was terrified nonstop. I now have an eating disorder from this. I can’t be alone. I can’t drive. I can’t go in stores. Literally the most torturous disorder ever.
You can recover , it takes lots of time but it is possible .
ify. ive been suffering panic disorder and its been 5months i cant go outside it makes me feel numb and nauseous everytime, i cant do basic chores also. this sucks i feel like im in a dream
I have these feelings too
I’m dealing with this myself since I was 6 and I’m 47, it’s the worse thing to ever go through feeling like something really bass gonna happen or feeling like your gonna have a seizure. My body goes numb and heat through my body and the dizziness makes it worse cause now I’m thinking something is wrong with my head. I pray for anyone who goes through this awful feeling.
@@SHM9NIEDOZED check shaan kassam , improvement path … you can overcome .
I’m only 22, but I can’t shake it. I’ve been on multiple medications and to many appointments. My doctors have stopped seeing me because I can’t go in person. This is purely torture, I would never wish this upon anyone.
Try Paxil .. It works
I feel for you bro. It’s scary for sure. I developed it out of the blue at like 14 years old. I’m 36 now. Key is to do things you enjoy around people you enjoy. Little by little, you get your mind off of things. Baby steps bro. Next time someone asks you if you want to go out etc, just say yes and take that leap. I wish you well in your journey brother. You’ll find ways to cope and get better. Just don’t stop trying
Keep trying all different ways of thinking and different ways of doing things like work and interests. Introduce happy positive changes in your life. Your goal is not to do things that could make it worse. Do this and Time will be your friend. If you feel like there is no hope in the future then do things that you would normally do if you did have positive thoughts about the future . Eventually Time can be your friend and once you get some more positive thoughts you can start making progress. It can come back anytime for apparently no reason. If this happens just know that it will pass. Ride with the flow of it. Time can be your friend . If possible avoid medication. If its possible and you can feel a mild version of it on you then change the environment and do something different and see if this helps. Have a routine. Be busier. Things will change with time. Theres no point me talking about what I've been through as it won't help you. Don't feel sorry for yourself and don't keep talking about your problems and worries too much. Seek calmness and peace with nature and being outside if possible. Be as healthy as possible, eat healthy and lightly exercise.
@@B3astttdo you take anything?
Read quran & accept islam your success in that is guaranteed
After 15 years of anxiety I developed agoraphobia. 5 years home bound agoraphobic, constricted to 1 mile from home. Slowly getting better but its the worse thing ive ever experienced
Please could you tell me what u did? it's been more than 5 years i'm in this Situation i live in Morocco North africa we don't have good doctors they gave me only medicines and that's not enough i feel i can't breath and i feel dizzy all the time and i want only to stay at home with my mom. 26 years man want to stay with his mom because he is fearing of fear i was thinking to k*ll myself many times
@@ringlegacy5422 I will say it’s not an easy or fast process. I got so bad I could barely get out of my yard. I felt the same way. Hard to breathe, shaky, feeling like I would pass out, heart palpitations etc… I started slowly driving down the street and back for weeks maybe even months. I would feel extremely anxious but made myself do it. Eventually I stopped feeling anxious and would move the distance to the end of the street, then around the block. Now I’m within about 5 miles of home and still working. I don’t have as bad of anxiety at all anymore but between constantly working on the distance, focusing on losing weight and eating less I stopped feeling anxious all the time. Don’t give up, a positive mindset is also a must. Believe in yourself even on the hard days.
@@ringlegacy5422I don’t know what the cure is but I’m suffering with this myself. I think we just have to face the fear over and over again and eventually we will see that we’re still alive and there’s nothing to be afraid of
@@ringlegacy5422I have tbe same symptoms. I know deep breathing and walking helps me but still a daily occurrence. Its crippling where i dont want to live like this😢😢😢😢
I started suffering from agoraphobia 5 years ago. I started praying to Saint Jude a few years after that and immediately I started to recover through exposure therapy. This Saint is such a sweet patient and reliable Saint to pray to. Please anyone suffering from anxiety and agoraphobia pray to him his prayers are known to never fail!
Going through this 25 years all the same symptoms with no treatment it’s hell I have to say 🙏
Learn the Claire weekes method
Same here . 22 years and counting, so much wasted life
😢😢😢
I've been going through it also for 25 years and I have to say I had long periods when I was able to do anything - flying alone, traveling and going basically anywhere but then things changed and got worse again. It really sucks. It's terrible!!! I don't want this. I hate it. I can go somewhere only on my bike. But even then I started to feel increasingly unsafe. I have complex PTSD,.raised by a neglectful narcissistic alcoholic parent. I was never allowed to be angry. Now I am learning to lose control and I feel that can help me to feel increasingly safe.
I have had this since I was 19 no cure, no help I'm now 43 and still don't understand why I have it or why it won't go away
I feel for this man. I have a much milder form, and it is maddening.
Currently struggling with mild case of this since 2020 its been hard to go outside my house for any little thing. I’ve always struggled with this since a young child unless im with someone. I always become dependent on someone of the feelings come back. (Autophobia) I definitely will try walking more outside further and further away from home. Im lucky i dont have panic attacks so easily, only a few in my life, so its just getting the courage to try! Good luck to anyone else going through this.
Same here for 8 years now but I get full panic attacks often,especially whenever no one is around ;( hope you find the help we desperately need and I've been searching for
Look into Dr Claire Weekes. Useful, practical advice
It’s exactly my story for 30 years. Besides going to psychiatrists, internists, holistic therapists, learning breathing techniques it came down to this in my case. Besides the breathing and relaxation techniques, Zoloft and Klonopin in small doses. It changed my life to one of fear and anxiety, to actually living a full life. I think the treatment is different for each person and I’m grateful this has worked for me. I hope the best for all of you!
a year ago i went through this. SO HORRIBLE. for at least 6 months it was every. single. day. when i woke up, when i ate breakfast, drove to school, walked INTO school, sat in each class... and it impacted my sleep every night. one night in particular i had a panic attack so bad that i went to the hospital because i legitimately thought i was dying, my blood pressure got so high and i was so nauseous. after waiting for hours and getting no sleep the doctor essentially said "idk whats wrong with you lol see a therapist 🤷♂️" and that was that. my parents didnt do anything and i just dealt with it on my own. it was so debilitating!! and NOBODY believed me when i said i felt like i would die. i wish i had gotten serious help but taking me to a therapist or psychiatrist is the last thing my parents would do. panic disorder is not JUST anxiety. its so much more powerful and usually i had no idea why it happened. i became very hypochondriacal which was just an endless catch-22. i wished people would have understood what i was feeling and that i wasnt over-exaggerating or being hysterical, and i hope that anyone going through this gets the help they need. 🩷
Have you overcome it?
i believe so! i took it upon myself to try as many diy things to help me get better like taking vitamins (magnesium is a life-changer, and L-theanine really helps relax me if i am having a night of anxious thoughts and cant sleep), drinking calming tea, journaling daily, and just talking to friends about my situation. even if they didnt quite understand it, just being able to talk to someone helped. i wish i knew what possibly could have initiated my panic disorder, but all i could do was try as many things as i could to lower stress, calm myself and be mindful. in the past what triggered me the most was when i would start to be fully conscious of my breathing and heartbeat. thats something i dealt with 24/7 and it was incredibly hard to pay attention in class, eat, or go to sleep when it felt like if i stopped manually breathing i'd die. i think trying to find distractions that occupied all my brain power helped a lot in that aspect, because the less i was thinking about it the better. all the videos that said to be in the moment and focus on your breathing always made me panic more, personally. it freaked me out too much to let all my air out and count for 5 seconds before breathing in again. im happy to say that i havent had a panic attack as severe as i used to in a long time! :) and im slowly attempting to conquer my agoraphobia as i go on.
@@toastyren I’m glad to hear that. I’m on my 4th round of this in the last decade. Currently 20 now. Have it very very similar to you, struggling to work out rn too. And can’t go to class anymore.
im very sorry. it is a lot more debilitating than people may think. i hope that you can tame it as much as possible so that you can feel better and progress with life! wishing you the best of luck and patience with yourself, and that you have lots of support around to help you too :)
This is extremely helpful. Thank you, Niel
What I started from my personal experience is that this happens when I have obsessive thoughts and over-generalization of something negative.
Anyone reading this and suffering know your not alone and start getting treatment or help immediately to prevent it getting worse

@ringlegacy5422 find God and pray. Right ur shit down and get on a schedule u have to do like 10 methods and fight it. It never goes away tho
When fear turns into fun every thing changes
What do you mean?
I sometimes try to think of exposure therapy as a challenge, like a “fun” challenge. Obviously it’s not a very fun situation, but going into an exposure exercise with the mentality of “bring it on then, f*** you, do your worst” etc… can definitely be helpful and strengthening.
@@thecorruptversion I was on SSRI medication and took the flight, that is the most frightening thing for me, medicines helps to calm down brain activity and I enjoyed the journey and it was the best of all, I even laughed during turbulence, so enjoying and having fun doing things that gives us anxiety changes everything
@@alexmasus5639 taking anxiety as a challenge even intense it more because we are Justifying our phobia or panic, we have to take the situation casually like we did when we were normal person like others
This is so reassuring video! I can totally understand his situation. I've been going through this.
How are doin now
I have been struggling with this for the last 4 years, I haven't been able to leave my house at all. I was starting to think it was hopeless, but I am glad I watched this video. Now I know what steps I need to take in order to get back on track again.
Wish it would just go away forever so I can just live a normal life feel so alone that I don’t want to be here anymore 😢
Your not alone :) if you need a reason to be here look around you. The reason can be as simple as x your favourite tree you like to look at out the window. I need to be here to see it tomorrow and the day after cause if I’m not who will. If you struggling with these thoughts there are alot of help lines to call, please reach out. I’m agoraphobic too and it’s my second year coming but I know in my heart it’s not forever. Just keep fighting every day. Please keep fighting. If your in a dark place call those help lines. I can say with a absolute confidence that you being here is needed. If I found out you weren’t here you would break my heart. Now you can say for sure one person has you in their thoughts. I will be thinking about you, we got this and will beat this.
Trust me your not alone it sucks! Tried to shop in target literally one minute had an attack said forget this went home 😭
Walked out of a family funeral the other day in front of 1000 people felt so embarrassed first the tingles and edgy feeling comes then the dizziness and then the sweats you think you are going to pass out, even typing this I have my stomach churning and what for? Absolutely nothing 😞 There has to be a solution nothing works, therapy meds meditation tried it all 😫😫😫
@@channyl252 I hope your ok and please call a hotline or talk to a friend if it’s an emergency. You will find someone who wants to listen and make sure you get some help. This world is yours just as much as all of us and I say with you here it feels just a little better. I hope you get through whatever you are facing. With persistence, consistency and maybe a little courage I know you can do this!
@@channyl252 your never alone as dark as it may seem. The internet is a hell of drain on our mental state sometimes lol but the beauty is in a few seconds we can find someone else who is going through what we are or has made it to the other side. If you lose your way search us out :) one of us will pat you on the back and let you know all is not lost. Good luck moving forward! Don’t feel bad if reaching your goal takes longer than you think. I find it’s typically 3-5 times longer than I expect lol.
I can relate. Thankfully, I am healing now.
How to overcome
When I recovered from severe agoraphobia, that left me virtually housebound for close to 5 years, that first drive into the country - intrastate - 300km felt like a rebirth. I got out of the car, middle of nowhere, and shouted: "I'm back!! I'm really back!" I felt more 'me' than I had ever felt before.
I'd like to know too I'm also anxiety ridden and agoraphobia
how did u recover ?
As someone who struggled intensely with agoraphobia: It is a symptom. You are running from a much bigger problem. Maybe a trauma, something bothering you deeply. I don't judge you, maybe you lost someone, maybe you deal with something traumatic every single day. It is a way to survive, but it is the result of running from something.While this video is great, and helping people is really a good cause, I'll leave this here for everyone reading my comment: Find your problems, not the solutions, for they are a cancer spreading silently.
Suffered off and on my whole adult life. The worst is when you do exposure therapy and you beat it…but only until it all comes back someday and you have to face it all again. It’s absolutely exhausting. Side note: The audio from this time period always relaxes me in my anxiety/panic spells.
Instead of complaint in comment section, listen to the video. Step 1. Meditation/ learn how to calm your body. Step 2. Hire a psychologist. (Not therapist, pastor, life coach, family member/spouse.) step 3. Practice cognitive behavioral therapy. Exposure therapy helps as well. Go outside. Sit in your car. Get the mail. Go barefoot, do it in your pajamas. Who cares, just do it.
Jesus Christ is the answer my dear. Read the book of Isaiah 26:3 and 4
Being around people makes me feel trapped and causes me panic attacks. 😔 Its hopeless and I feel extra lonely cause I avoid being around people because of my panic episodes
So how long did it take him to unsensitise his nervous system. It doesn't just stop. It takes time to practice allowing and accepting panic attacks without any fear. My problem is truly believing im ok whilst have a panic attack which is why i am stuck in a cycle of panic. Hopefully one day i will let go like this guy has done.
Try driving at night
For year of CBT therapy I heard in one of interview with him when he had no symptoms more
We all are saying and feeling the same way this surprise me l thought im suffering alone or im weak but now i confirmed that all the symptoms and agoraphobia we are suffering is part of the disease and not part of us ,im taking untideppresents and sedative
How are you feeling now? I’m suffering from the same thing. I hate being alone or in crowded places.
We shall overcome
if one more person tells me to meditate to cease attacks I'm gonna scream.
Im suffering from it as well
Please help me as well I have been suffering with this for years. I am on new meds and I’m trying to maintain all the side effects . I have the waves of panic. I’m trying
Unfortunately I've had this for many many years and the treatment for it cost thousands of dollars so if you're not rich you cannot afford it especially if you are so debilitated by it that you cannot work then how do you get the money to pay for therapy
I cant find a therapist to help me it sucks been agoraphobia for 7 years now i cant even go to dr ....
Idk how he went from one panic attack driving to none. The behavioral therapy? I like to travel but since a anxiety panic disorder diagnosis I can’t even fathom getting on a plane
Try guided meditations daily. Also exercise. Also try to push your comfort zone a tiny bit each day. Im struggling a lot myself but I've managed to take flights on occasion but I will admit it's very difficult and I have to almost train myself leading up to the trip by pushing my comfort zone more than normal. Afterwards, I tend to need a lot of recuperation, like after running a marathon. I hope I can completely overcome this someday. The fear of an intense panic attack, for now, is still something I deal with on a daily basis. I do have a prescription for low dose xanax that I carry with me in a little pill container. It helps a lot when I need the extra push, but I fear being dependent on it as well.
@@alexvanderkooy ok I will try those. I have been on an airplane twice now no issue. But I have been working with a psychiatrist and therapist and I’m taking antidepressants, anxiety meds., and as needed narcotic anxiety meds. I definitely don’t want to be on meds forever but for now I’m getting the help. I also started doing yoga and only putting myself in calm environments n people.
@@gracesplace3449 best wishes for a full recovery!

To me Neil's story is a very mild case of anxiety and agoraphobia. I've yet to hear of anyone as bad as me. It's all pent up traumas that destroy the brain
Suffering anxiety and panic attacks since 2009,its like hell.evertime of discontinuous of medication the evil comes back.

After a decade of chronic pain COVID made me an agoraphobia and the rest of the disorders a lot worse by loving not to be at the doctors all the time or feel guilty for missing events I couldn't attend. Only therapist I love my good insurance won't cover n going to find out if I can manage to afford it, stopped originally bcuz of the $.
I had my anxiety under control til my 15 year old threatened me with a knife in December. Then nothing works to help me get the anxiety and panic under control
I’m 23 yrs old, started being agoraphobic about 1 yr and 8 months, recently got diagnosed with panic disorder and agoraphobia, I’ve been housebound, this feeling sucks, trying to overcome this without medication and on my own, I don’t have anyone else. Any suggestions or advice guys?
Check do magnesium and vitamin D deficiencies
Will do thank you 🥺 🙏🏻
As the other guy suggested check out vitamin D3(the best form of vitamin d). I take 1000iu per day, seems to help. They say alot of people are deficient.

I was a devout Catholic. Trust me, "religion and praying" won't cure this problem. I had holy water, rosary beads, crucifixes, holy cards etc. I was praying a lot. Nothing...no help at all.
@@hkk3656 yes, my dad actually got better by praying but in my opinion it’s more of a belief that it will make you better. Which makes you psychologically feel better. I’m not like that. I need more than praying. I need mental help

HELL
I got a question that will most likely seem psychotic but here it goes,does anybody here ever get the fear of breathing air?My rational mind says that we need air to live obviously but my fear side of my mind thinks that breathing oxygen can be like breathing water?So naturally that is not a rational thought but where does that come from?I am not claustrophobic at all as far as being in elevators or other closed spaces.Any thoughts?
Listen, I never had that specific irrational fear, but I totally understand your feeling. I have a completely irrational fear of the planet Earth falling. I know that sounds ridiculous, and it is, but I start to get anxiety when I think of the planet we all live on floating in nothing. It's a completely irrational fear and I'm afraid of even talking with people about it because they'll think I'm crazy...
I hate talking about it because people think you are crazy and start laughing at me my father's therapist laughed at me when he asked me if I worked I said no he said why? Because I have agoraphobia he said are you talking medicine I said no how do you help yourself when you get panic attacks I said well I pick Vicks vaporub ony chest and I calm down I also drink chamomile tea and out lavender essential oil he said I see thanks he said how do you your cellphone bill I said my mom does he said how much $25 that's when he started laughing at me I said to him why are you laughing? Not everyone has it like you that you have money and don't have agoraphobia you need to respect people who has agoraphobia but it all started when my ex left me back in 2006 I had my first panic attack when I was dating this one girl so I drop her off at her house go that way I suffer my second panic attack the first one was when I was going to lake Michigan plus I used to drink a lot as well so I believe it was because of my ex who left me and me starting drinking it got worse in 2014 but later until now I started to control my panic attacks with chamomile tea, lavender essential oil and Vicks vaporub also I do exercise that helps me a lot I don't have them like before I will next will go get my state id all over again later I will get my license back buy a car and start going out like before with the help of Jesus Christ I will go back how I was I have faith in him he will help me in my difficulties Jesus Christ I have faith in you I will get out of this hell ✝️ 🙏
This looks like it was filmed in 1995
Why in the HELL do American shows have to over dramatise everything, even when it's just supposed to be educational? It's infuriating.
Free advice.dont go for a ride nowdays.otherwise you will again start panic attack after seeing gas price at gas station.😂

I'm 36 years old and this has controlled my life. I'll tell you what helps and what doesn't so you don't have to go through what I did. Don't go without a job for very llong. After a month I'm hiding, weird, and not very social. Don't drink long term. It will feel good foe the brief time you're sober.. but it'll make it worse as soon as it's out of your system. Stay out of your comfort zone even if it doesn't feel like it. Just not going to a gas station or fast food or whatever can have bad effects if that's the only social contact you have. Having a close loved one doesn't help. I can talk to my fiance all day but as soon as she's gone and I'm talking to someone else I don't know very well it starts over. It's weird but once it's in your comfort bubble no matter what you do it won't help you overcome social anxiety. I could talk to my fiance for hours and as soon as I talk to someone I don't know it's like I'm on another planet. Don't give up. I want to but I know there is a way out.
Hey Man, i wish it gets better for you. I'm 22 years old suffering from this and i know it'll go away sooner or later.
