Hello all, I just found this website today and have been reading a lot of the posts.
I was searching for a forum for agoraphobia, I have created one myself as I couldn't find one and then I just found this one - duh!
Am I allowed to tout my new website? - there is no selling (yahoo put banners on cos it's a free site but I am not affiliated with them)
anyway it's http://www.agoraphobia.co.nr
I have been a sufferer for as many years as I can remember, even when I was about 8 I can remember other kids asking if I could "play out" and I wouldn't go outside. I had always put it down to just not liking other kids (bullied me at school and all that) but now I wonder if it did actually start that young.
Then when I moved out of my family home at the age of 19 I had terrible trouble being at home alone and walking to and from home to the station on the way from work.
My family don't actually know I am agoraphobic, no one does apart from my husband and his sister. I guess they will if they use the net as I have used my real name as I felt it time for some truth!
Now I can't go out unless I am going to meet someone, I can't even go to the local shops which are 5 minutes away.
Anyway it's so rubbish at the age of aherm 30 something (birthday was Sunday so if anyone wants to wish me a happy bday!) not to be able to go out and get a newspaper or a pint of milk.
I can't remember that I have ever gone out for a walk on my own just because it's a nice day. I started therapy last week, so I am hoping that I will be able to soon.
Heres to positive thinking.
