Agoraphobia?

Question

Have any of you had to deal with this? If so, how did your spirituality affect your recovery?

Answer 1

How can Spirituality deal or overcome Fear of Crowds and Crowded places???? It's an anxiety disorder!

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder which primarily consists of the fear of experiencing a difficult or embarrassing situation from which the sufferer cannot escape.

Agoraphobics may experience severe panic attacks in situations where they feel trapped, insecure, out of control, or too far from their personal comfort zone. In severe cases, an agoraphobic may be confined not only to their home, but to one or two rooms, and they may even become bed-bound, or a recluse.

Agoraphobics are often extremely sensitized to their own bodily sensations, subconsciously over-reacting to perfectly normal events. For example, the exertion involved in climbing a flight of stairs may trigger a full-blown panic attack, because it increases the heartbeat and breathing rate, which the agoraphobic interprets as the start of a panic attack instead of a normal fluctuation.

"It's the silence between the notes that make the music, and it's the space between the bars that hold the tiger". Without space nothing could move and there would be no dance in the Spirit. The movement or dance cause the Spirit great joy. And know it is not the walls that make a room but the space within the walls.

Spirituality is also a form of delusional mental disorder. It usually slows down the recovery of other form of mental disorders because people suffering from delusions tend to believe that what they are experiencing is "god" induced so they are late in getting medical help. In the case of schizophrenic disorders it is a real problem since the untreated disorder can evolve into a full blown mental disease.

My spirituality kept me from seeking help. Professional help that could have spared me a lot of torment and isolation. Instead, I relied on faith and ended up sitting in my living room terrified to leave the house for 3 years. What a collossal waste...

Answer 6

A morbid fear of open spaces (as fear of being caught alone in some public place)

My spirituality comes from God's Holy Scriptures.

Philippians chapter 4 verse 13...

I can do all things thru Christ which strengthens me.

Answer 7

I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others.

Be gentle, and you can be bold; be frugal, and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others, and you can become a leader of men.

Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends.

Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness. The greatest conquerors are those who overcome their enemies without strife.

– LAO Tzu
