There are many signs and symptoms of agoraphobia, including some of the more classic ones. Only a qualified medical professional can truly make a proper diagnosis though.
Agoraphobia may be present with panic disorder, which is usually the case. On rare occasions, a person with agoraphobia may not have a panic disorder.
Agoraphobia Signs And Symptoms
Some of the things to look out for would be the fear of crowded places and at the other extreme, the fear of being alone. You are afraid to leave home on your own.
You depend on others to go out. You feel helpless and not in control. In fact, you fear losing control, especially in a public place. You need a quick escape.
You avoid people and situations. You endure great fear and stress when you DO go out and fear having a panic attack.
You may also experience lightheadedness, dizziness, chest pain, sweating, rapid heart and trouble breathing. These can be frightening as it can appear to be a serious medical condition.
Overcoming Agoraphobia
You probably will have a hard time believing that you can overcome agoraphobia. At this stage, it seems impossible to get rid of agoraphobia.
Actually, it’s not an easy road. It requires hard work, patience, support, guidance and lots of help. If it was easy, you’d have recovered long ago. So yes, it’s hard, but can be done.
You may have to take medication and have some form of therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is very good and will require your active participation.
Hypnosis has helped many and may be your ticket out of hell, but hypnosis, though powerful, is not for everyone. Don’t discount it though.
PureCalm, a natural formula can help ease anxiety and panic attacks, which in turn will help with your agoraphobia.
The Linden Method, another drug-free method, is a powerful technique to overcome your problems.
If you can relate to some of the signs and symptoms of agoraphobia, you need to do something. Unlike a cold, it doesn’t eventually go away on its own.
The ultimate cure is to face the fear. This will kill the beast that resides in you once and for all. Even though this is the hardest thing to do, with help, even this can be achieved.
