Between the above I feel very much alone is there anyone out there that has gone thorigh this and has found some answers or kind words that can help me

Answer:

Most definitely I was moved by your question. I have been diagnosed with mixed bi-polar since 1987, and have always been seeing a doctor. I totally understand how you feel. Clearly, it's a lonely existence, especially when friends and family do not understand. There are no meds that I know of for agoraphobia. At a suggestion for one of my psychiatrist he said to fight it, and keep saying "I'm not afraid" or "There's nothing to fear," or "I'm an okay person." It worked, and now I have panic attacks. But, you know I deal with that, too. Despite this psychiatric journey, I obtained a degree at Pasadena City College, and USC in my early 40's. Also, there are great meds out there for depression, but it is trial and error to find the right one. Most of my family and friends were understanding, except the one friend who that I was possessed by the devil. I know that I am love. By the way, pushing people away is normal for depression. Just don't do anything to end it all. You are not alone and people love you more than you know. Pray for the psychiatrist's wisdom and a happy heart.

Yes... I did, for many years actually. and I still am a bit antisocial but that's mostly because I realized how completely worthless most human interaction is... Especially when most people have no clue who and what they are on their own outside the eyes and ears of others.
