I Have Generlized Anxiety Disorder and Agoraphobia What Should I Do?

I'm afraid of going to school. In Middle School I got sick and I have been so afraid of being in that same situation. And it sucks because this year I will be going to High School and I have to go. I am homebound right now but that is not an option for next year unfortunately. I am seeing a professional and am on Celexa and Buspar. I need some advice.

I have the same thing. Keep taking your meds, and try practicing going places. Like, tomorrow walk out to your front yard, the next day try and get to the end of the block and so on. I know that's not really what you want to hear (trust me I know lol), but I think it's the best way to start getting out without causing yourself to much stress.

Also breathing exercises are supposed to help when you feel anxious, try laying down and taking deep slow breaths, make sure your stomach is rising up and down with each breath. This helps you to breathe normally again as anxious people don't breathe properly a lot of the time and that makes you feel anxious.

Also if you have to go out try and distract yourself from the anxiety by concentrating on a specific thing......like try and count how many blue things you see etc.

Good luck!!!

benzos are great for controlling anxiety ask your doc for clonazepam next time you see him

lexapro works great
