i have a 5 years agoraphobia- what should ı do?

[38]

[font][font]I'm not sure if it's right to bring this here. I thought it was appropriate because it is personal.
I have had panic disorder for 13 years and agoraphobia for the last 5 years and I can't leave the house. I live in Turkey, I continue medication, I have been to many clinical psychologists but I have no motivation, I am always weak, fearful and unhappy, I don't know what to do. 
This psychologist has been very good for me or does anyone have any suggestions that you can do this? 
I was helpless and unhappy before, but now I am about to go crazy with false motivations such as come on, you can do it.

Is there at least someone who had agoraphobia like me before and did not leave the house for a long time but now recovered? even this will give me hope... [/font][/font]

you just need to confront it. The human body can adapts to almost anything, when you do something once it becomes easier the next time. Go out, you'll panic a bit but with each time that you do go out you'll be panicking less.

that's the problem: I can't do it, the moment I get out I have terrible panic attacks and I get stiff. (

I would like to find the strength to try... I know that if I start, it will continue, but my fears take over.

You can tho, panic is an emotional response. It might feels real but it's not. You won't die from it nor will it cause you any true harm. It's simply an inconvenience which you'll need to endure a few time and you'll be back to normal.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with panic disorder and agoraphobia for such a long time. It sounds like you've been through a lot, and it's understandable to feel helpless and unhappy in such a situation. However, there is hope for recovery, and many people have successfully overcome agoraphobia and similar conditions.
 
It's important to continue working with a clinical psychologist or a mental health professional who can provide you with the necessary support and treatment for your condition. In addition to medication and therapy, there are various self-help strategies and lifestyle changes that can help alleviate symptoms of panic disorder and agoraphobia.
 
It's also possible to connect with others who have had similar experiences, such as through support groups or online forums. You may find it helpful to speak with others who have recovered from agoraphobia and can offer you encouragement and hope.
 
Remember, recovery is a gradual process, and it may take time to see progress. Be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories along the way. You are not alone, and there is help available for you.
