I'll try and keep this factual rather than dwelling on all the details. I had a really bad case of covid in 2021, diagnosed with long covid. I had already suffered with anxiety and depression before this, but I was so unwell and my oxygen was so low I was passing out. Every day was a struggle, and it resulted in me losing my job because I was obviously unable to go!
My health hasn't improved much, I'm exhausted constantly, ache all over and spend my days waiting until I can sleep again. My GP wants to refer me for further tests etc but the issue is I cannot go to any appointments as I cannot leave the house. Any time I try to leave the house I have a panic attack which can result in me passing out.
I have tried councilling (via teams) they recommended compassionate based therapy but I found it really difficult and they referred me back to my GP.
I want to have a life again. But I don't know where to begin. AIBU to think that this doesn't have to be my life? My world is so very small and I'm extremely isolated and I don't want to be this way anymore. Has anyone managed to overcome agrophobia and could possibly give me some advice?
