Panic in crowds

Thank for all the help everyone. I will look through the program, and reading the other posts has been helpful.

It is true that, it is up to me to change and conquer this.

Hi princesspat,
 
Welcome to our online support community and thank you for sharing your story with us. As Davit mentioned, if you do a search in the forums you will find discussions on the topic of agoraphobia. Furthermore, the online program will be an excellent tool to find out more about this topic as well as learn strategies to overcome this. 

If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests.  These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor.


We also have developed a Panic Program.  This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above.  Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead.  


These tests may or may not be for you but they are "free".  If you have any question or concerns with our “TOOLS”, you can contact us at support@paniccenter.net.  We are the Support Specialist for The Panic Center and are open to any questions or concerns you may have.


Please continue to strive forward and lean on us for support.

Yes! A lot of people in fact more than you would imagine. It's called Agoraphobia which technically is the fear of being in a situation you have no control over. So that being said. Two things. Read the forums under Agoraphobia and you will see your not alone. And secondly, no two ways about it the program will help, but it is like being in school, you only get out what you put in. And in this case you need an "A" to function. We can help with any questions you have but you have to do the work. I went all through school with it and it was no fun especially knowing I didn't have to. There is medication that will help but your work will suffer. If this is just now starting I would think you can get by with just the program. No one here that I know of is a doctor so any thing said here is just a suggestion but since it works for some of us and it appears that there will be more coming along as people finish the program I have to say it's worth the effort.

Hello whoever is reading this out there...I am new here and just wanted to know if anyone else has the same problem as me. I have major panic attacks when I am in large crowds. It has been getting worse over the years as I moved away from my small town to a bigger city to go to school here.

I want to get over this fear of crowds, and stop paniking every time I am in a large crowd (ie. walking down teh school hallway, in a packed library, in an elevator, or even waiting in line). It gets so bad that I just ussually drop what I am doing and just leave.

I don't want this to happen anymore and do not even know where to start. I have been looking at the program and it seems like it might help so far. If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.

Pat
