You are not alone by any means. I am with
you all the way. In 2003, I had some
surgery that led to complications with a
major infection. I spent 17 days in the
hospital, when it should have been an over
night or at most three day stay. When I
got home, I found that I not only was
priveed to my usual anxiety and panic
disorder, but now had to face agoraphobia
due to the fear of germs! Yes, I did not
go out of the house for almost a year. I
would not go for help at that point. One
day I just got up as in any other morning.
Looked around my apartment and said "NO!
This is not going to happen to me"! I
called and made an appointment with my
doctor and asked if she would up my doese
of medications untill I fought to get
through this horrific battle and she did.
Little by little taking baby steps I would
go out the door, down the street, to the
store untill I finally know I was getting
my life back.
You have to do the same thing. There is a
world out there waiting for you and you
need to live life at it's fullest now.
Please get some help so you are able to do
this like I did. You can do it you know.
