Hi there



Sorry to hear you are suffering. I used to suffer from those sort of problems and still do to some extent but I still suffer from claustrophobia so don't like queueing etc and avoid crowded places - even shopping centres.



I was on Prozac for about 9 months and took myself off it cos I continued to get all the same problems so I thought that it was a waste of time. Others have told me that they had great results on it - so don't give up hope yet.



Have you tried CBT or getting any sort of help from your local GP's surgery - like counselling?



It is good that you are still working, however, don't give that up or you will end up agoraphobic as well.



Keep your chin up and keep going
