Question

face real life, and real people, and to have to deal with them? your so worried that you keep yourself inside and never go out..

Answer 1

Agoraphobia is treated with anti-anxiety medications / Xanex, anti-depressants, etc.

Answer 2

Well, here is my honest opinion about what will help this condition...

Do something small every day to take a step into the real world. Go do something a little out of your comfort zone. (For example, I used to be afraid to deal with people. I started by doing something small [which was a big deal for me] like calling a store on the phone to ask if something was in stock.) As you continue to do this, you will get more and more confident. (I am not afraid to call stores anymore. LOL)

I think that sometimes when we are afraid of going into the real world, we are afraid of what people think of us or that we are going to make a fool out of ourselves. (At least that is my understanding...) If you feel this way, there is no reason to. Remind yourself that God loves you. People will always have their criticisms of us, but that doesn't matter. Something I realized is that even if I am perfect, there are still some people who will not approve. It doesn't matter who approves of you or who doesn't, because the Bible says that God loves and accepts you.

I would not recommend going on medication, if that is possible. I think it would be much better to learn to overcome this than to get addicted to medication which has side effects.

Pin down the reason you feel this way, then look in the Bible to see what God has to say. For example, God says not to fear because He is with you. And He will never leave you or forsake you.

One more thing: do not think you are alone. There are many people who have this problem. I think it is important to know that there are many other people who go through the same thing. (Including yours truly who is learning to be confident with God's help!)

I hope this helps. You can do it!

Answer 3

In all things there is opposition. Heaven and hell are real. Most people think they will endure burning in a flame. That is incorrect. Eternal punishment is God's punishment because he is called Eternal. He does not punish other then withholding blessings that you could have qualifed for but did not. That will make you quite miserable. The only definition the scriptures say is that your punishment will be exquisite. The next life brings about a restoration. Based on what you did in this life, you will accordingly be rewarded. Good for good and evil for evil, because that is what you pursued. How does that fit the word justice?

Answer 4

It's known as being too scared to face the real world and will get you absolutely nowhere. Get yourself out more - we know you DO go out - how else would you have been able to tell us about the mile-and-a-half-long road in Manchester lined by empty houses with dark gardens, so whatever this condition is called, you haven't got it.

Answer 5

If there is not a diagnosed chemical imbalance based on physiological issues, the condition results from beliefs. Beliefs can be changed because they are based on reversible decisions we have made. There is a theory called ichinen sanzen propounded by the great teacher Tien Tai in China in thee 6th century. It can be complex to understand but the upshot is that the environment is determined by the belief system. I grew up with PTSD from WWII and later experiences and turned poison to medicine through learning about the philosophy expounded by sgi-usa.org.

Answer 6

the world if not encountered is of course scary.. Dipping yourself in unfamiliar depths really is very awkward and dreadful. But why not try to step on it for once and try to taste what is like. For sure there are pros and cons. All things have both good and bad sides- and the world is the perfect example. Just don't expect anything. Just go out and explore.

Answer 8

Agoraphobia- Agora I believe is a greek marketplace & phobia means fear.

Severe or progressed conditions require intensive psychiatric treatment.
