“furniture n stuff? i hope that never happens to me, i didnt know that even could happen.
:O”
I never knew it could happen either. I don’t know if it’s happened to anyone besides me before lol Has to have though, people have been around too long for there to be any original thoughts/fears/actions anymore.
Have you told your doctor that you have social anxiety with agoraphobia? Sounds like the welbutrin isn’t cutting it…
lol yeah i hide too! except my brothers bad, he doesnt get it and thinks its pathetic so he invites my friends over! i call back and say ‘umm…sorry you cant come over’ or when someone knocks on the door i run away im like ‘tell them im not here!’
its probably the stupidest thing, but i cant help it.

Yeah. I don’t “do” people. lol
My husband even warns all his friends that they have to tread carefully around me because I scare easy. Most of them have never seen me. Those that have haven’t seen the real me. I hide upstairs when he brings people over. :P
It got so bad at one point that I even felt like inanimate objects were better than me and looking down on me, like cups and furniture. :/ It was a WEIRD awful feeling, and I hope to never repeat it.
I have to try to get some sleep now, but I’ll be on tomorrow if you want to chat some more :) I’d love to.
In the meantime, I leave you with this horrifying pair of shoes I StumbleUponed today. They’re real, made by some maniac designer guy. Scroll down the page just a tad to see them: http://www.barthess.nl/
I swear I’ll have nightmares about them tonight! LOL
Yes I’ve used Welbutrin, but it was an add on to undo the lack of libido from the other anxiety/depression meds.
I hear ya about not leaving your house, I’ve struggled with Agoraphobia and the worst time I didn’t step out of my house (not even on to the porch) for 6 months.
Lexapro cured me best of anything. It was a wonder drug for me. My husband thought I was aggressive on it, but truth be told I think I just felt so good about it that I stopped taking his shit.
It made me brave, not afraid of people or doing things. It also took away my OCD which I totally didn’t expect. It made it so that for the first time I noticed things about the world I’d never noticed before - pretty things, little things that were always there and I just never saw them. All the good things in the world that “normal” people see every day. I don’t see them anymroe because I’m not on Lexapro, but at least I know they’re there, hidden from me, but there.
Plus I really watch my anxiety symptoms and recognize them for what they are, I tell myself a lot that the physical feelings of panic are false. Mis-wired signals. You know, that fight-or-flight response?
I’ll answer your question here because my kids come on this site from time to time.
I have been on meds for anxiety and some of them, especially Lexapro, worked well. I went off all meds though - $800 a month (for all my meds combined) and my husband didn’t like how they changed me.
Now I take a more natural route. ;)
