Have you ever wondered how some people with Agoraphobia get over it all of a sudden and then maybe 5 years later it returns? Doesn't this seem strange? I remember reading stories about this when I was searching the net for a cure. I wondered how people with full blown agoraphobia could just get over it. Now I understand it perfectly.
When I was young I would have episodes when I was anxious but they were few and far between. Then as I got older and more pressure came into my life I would have more unpleasant feelings. Like when I was getting ready for my wedding. I was just 20 years old and because my mother had died when I was 5 I was all alone trying to plan for this event. I remember getting a lump in my throat and thinking I must really have something awful wrong with me. After going to the doctor he told me he could find nothing in my throat. I think he probably tried to tell me just to not worry I was fine. I started getting suspicious when at night it went away and in the morning when I got up it was back.
It took about 20 years to understand this behavior. After I found out what caused agoraphobia I could then look back and know why some people seemed to have had a miraculous healing when their symptoms went away. I now know that the muscle in the eye compensates for the difference, but in times of extreme stress it can't keep doing this and the symptoms return. Because of our stressful world the kids today are becoming anxious at a earlier age. So being symptom free does not mean that everything is alright it just means for now it's ok.
Take the hyperphoria test on the right and grade your self to see if this could be your problem.
