From the HealthyPlace.com Bulletin Boards: "Severe, Chronic Anxiety"

weird:

"I've been stuck in my house for 4 years with agoraphobia and I got to the point I couldn't eat because I would gag it up. I was scared out of my mind with severe anxiety but I seemed to get over it a little bit, but now I'm back to the point where I can't eat at all cause I gag and it's a million times worse. I don't know how much more of this I can take." respond here.

Something to think about...

"In every worry under the sun,
There is remedy or there is none.
If there is remedy, hurry and find it;
If there is none, never mind it."
