> It could be that that really is your diagnosis -- Anxiety Disorder, Severe. Your pdoc may not be avoiding the issue, but answering it. Remember, you don't have to have multiple dx, and an anxiety disorder of any sort can be pretty devastating on its own, without inviting any other dxs to the table.
I think that is a very strong possability,in fact i believe in my own view i have anixety,with a dab of ocd/depression/adhd thrown in,but i think anxiety keeps the whole thing spinning.I just wish shed put more time into giving me such a dx,instead of kinda mumbling under her breath.

> I don't think that any medication can get you out of the house, I think that's psychological and behavioral. And that's not meant as anything other than an observation -- I run through periods of intense agoraphobia, where I won't leave the house if I can help it. Meds don't help with that, though. I can be happy and bubbly and generally asymptomatic -- and still not want to leave the house.

> Have you tried some therapy? That's the best for me, and it's at least one thing a week that I have to leave the house for, which is a big benefit. At least once a week, I have to shower, dress, put on SHOES, fer cryin' out loud. And once I'm out, I usually do other things, too: run errands, etc.
Im too begin therapy soon,i just wish i was pyshicaly better before i start.I know u say theres no med for my problem,but i have had times where i dabbled in combos such as parnate/klonopin/neurtoniton/l theanine/ and a feeling came over me,and as i walked outside i feel better,i felt like CHAIN that was on me had been unleashed,i felt so calm and felt great being out.I know this feeling is in there somewhere,do you really think therpay is the only answer and not any type of chemical adjustment might be needed?
>
> Can you identify triggers for you outside the house? I know, for instance, where my anxiety about leaving the house comes from. That helps, especially since I know what it will take to help me get past it. If you can identify what your trigger point is, that can help you ease your way back into going out.

> Good luck.Im very much like u,i awake every single morning,shower get dressed,get breakfast,i can run errands and i can GO OUT,im not house locked.Its just i give up,i dont feel like i wanna face the outside,i have my own little securtiy nest,ah its so hard to put in words,i feel as i said ealrier as if im on some invisable leash and when i try to go forward i feel somthing yank me back.
Luckly i can do it though,i was always able to work,i could subsuide my symptoms,its just i wont go out for enjoyment,only if i have to for errans and such.Its truly ruined my life.
Thanks for the reply!
