 |
|
I became an agrophobic after a Nervous Breakdown and for 4 years was unable to go into any situation where there was a lot of people. After trying
various tratments I was browsing the web and came across an article for
Adult ADD. On mentioning this to my doctor I was sent to a speacalist in
this problem and was consequently diagnosed with ADD. I have been on
Dexamphetamine for 6 months now and am able to work as a cleaner at a
collage near my home. Because I start work at 5.30 am and finish at 8.30 am it means that I do not come into contact with a lot of people to cause a stress situation. This has meant that my self esteem has been lifted and I
am able to tackle more and more a normal life with growing confidence. I
hope that this may help somebody in their quest for a normal life.

| ROGER! THANK YOU!! I read your post this morning and have since, discovered that I AM INDEED a victim of ADD or ADHD! I discovered in the past that I was dyslexic and blamed that for my low averages in school, etc., but only after reading your post and searching the web and taking the "WURS" test did I realize that the dyslexia was only a part of my disorder! I printed out the test and plan on taking it along to my next appointment with my psychciatrist (9/2) and going from there. I couldn't believe how many of the questions on the test were ME and how everything seemed to fall into place and make some sort of sense for once! It was like opening a surprise Christmas gift that turned out to be something I really wanted and NEEDED! It was like a spiritual awakinging! Hopefully, I will be put on the CORRECT medications and treated accordingly! I have felt so hopeless off and on throughout my many long, difficult years, and I feel hopeful and extremely encouraged because of YOUR post, which I could realte to and indentify with very much, which I why I decided to "investigate" further! I am deeply indebted to you, and just THANK YOU seems so insufficient! GAWSH~~ROGER! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! |

Help, am spinning in circles. Have been agrophobic since 1999. Am on social security disability due to it. Have been trying to get therapy for it but ...
I make an appointment, the day of the appointment I can't bring myself to leave the house, thus miss the appointment. Spoke with my therapist concerning this and asked for telephone counciling. She informed me that part of the therapy was making the appointment. Told her, well, there are more times than not I can not bring myself to leave the house to make the appointment. Asked if there was any counciling available via telephone. She said no. I do not like people in my house either and also suffer from depression.
Might anyone help with a referral of a therapist/phychiatrist's name and telephone number that is licensed and accepted by Medicare/Social security for my ailments? |
