I'm starting to fall back into old ways! I've been out twice this year @_@ which is a long way short of where I was last year.

There was a time.. that I used to not leave my house for like months.
Avoiding places was my skill (not a fun skill, to have) Although I prefer to be better at just facing them...
But now I force myself to get outta this place like a few times a week
Still got no school time, and stuff. I wish I had, So I could get out of this place each day
but I'm seeing friends or going out somewhere like buy a nice book or a magazine at the store or..
go see my grandparents or going for a walk.It's all a step forward to leave the house for a while
now i'm trying to find some places to go to, like maybe have a vocal teacher,
or going to a sport.. swimming pool, concerts, and I'm trying to get back to school again.
My therapy sessions start on the 3th of March. 4 hours a week, group therapy and invidiual.
Have to go with taxi, so have to face people! lots of things into the right direction....
Still working to get my life back on track, but I have to be patient.
Still that's hard to accept, but I know i'm working on it. I'm willing to change.
That's the first step.
In the past I couldn't even reach the mail box, Imagine it like that.
It's frustrating, awful and horrible to go through this and suffer this hell.
But keep pushin' yourself a little, so you can actually do the things you want.
But I can totally relate to this topic, because i've been the same.
Yet, I made a lot of progress. Hope you guys can do too, good luck<3

*Raises hand* I am not much able to go out by myself, I feel too afraid to. Strange as it sounds, I think it is because I live in a rural area where public transportation is nil (I don't drive) and going anywhere would mean walking along a highway or through residential areas for almost 30 mins. That makes me feel really exposed and vulnerable rather than if I could hop on a bus. =(

Ahh... I was doing okay before I left for my grandpa's funeral last month.
When I came home, I shrunk back into my room again though...
people are just... too hard to deal with... and irritating... or something. I can't do it. -___-
It's been a week in my room.
I'm finally starting to sneak downstairs when no one else is home to bake and do some cleaning.
Guess for now I'll be stuck as the fairy who comes out to do chores when everyone is sleeping?
I can't even manage a full sentence when my brother pokes his head into my room to talk. bawk!

I usually don't go anywhere unless I've made plans a long time ago, or my family drags me out somewhere >.<

I don't think I could even leave my house to take out the trash.
It seems that every time I go out with my family I ruin the occasion
and end up running back home locking myself in my room.
Other reasons are that I just hate going outside nowadays.
Actually the only time I leave my room is to use the bathroom, take a shower, and eat...and do chores. -_- My older sister tends to abuse me with the fact that I'm a basement dwelling drop out which is why I don't plan on ever leaving my room until she moves out.

Put me down in this topic too.
It's too much for me.
I don't know how long I can do this for.
The heartache is killing me in spades.

Hello,lovely to meet you Anxiety.
I can identify.I was supposed to go to a lazer zone last night,run around with a zap gun and shed some of my frustrations but it fell through.My ride didn't show up.
Never make someone over promise so much over the phone that they will actually show up,not like last time.LOL.
Oh well.
Where do we brainstorm our predicament?
One good technique is to never expect a sure thing,even a home food delivery.

Please read....Here's my story
The first 20 months of my sentence were alright everything was fine no problems. Untill i made parole and was going to go home and started stressing everyday about going home, and couldn't get into any fights or that would screw everything up.so i had to let everything slide by and that when it begun.
Well im new to this site and wan't to do what i can to not to get bound to it. I believe im agoraphobic im new to all this actually. I have recently just done a prison sentence which was going alright till the end when this feeling came upon me i didn't know what it was but could you imagine being around hundreds of people every sec no break at all while people sit their and taunt your anxiety and don't give you a break no place to go not just one or 2 people taunting you harassing you b/c they can see the anxiety written all over you but almost everybody. no breaks everytime you have an anxiety or panic attack someone was in your face humiliating you till you couldn't breath then would laugh and people could see it on you. Forced to go to work at 4 in the morning after not being able to sleep and having to deal with sleep deprivation and panic attacks, anxiety just total uncomfort no help just humiliation no going off to get a break having to sit their and hold it all in cause if you show one sign of it your over people will be on you, but you can't help it it shows it's uncontrolable you can't breath or look at anyone in the eye walk even at that but you had to pull threw it to know you had to go back to a dorm with people who wanted to make it 10 times worse on you.imagine trying to go back to your bunk for rest or a break o and their is no cells their dorms just a bunch of bunks in one big room no privacy and everytime you laid in your bunk trying to calm down the person on the bunk next to you would copy and imitate everything you do thats something they do in prison to let you know their watching you. Then i was put in a cell butt ass naked by myself cause i said i wanted to kill myself sleeping on nothing but steel getting feed penut butter and jelly sandwiches for breakfast lunch and dinner while guards came by and taunted and harrased you day and night. Then they put me on a medication that caused me to lose my mind and hallucinate and not know where i was and wan't to die nobody would help nobody would listen i was doomed to die not knowing whether i was going to go to heaven or hell no grip i was going to be insaine forever i would never be able to talk to my family again saine nobody would listen. Nobody. On top of this i hadn't spoken with my family in months months nobody i knew in months.I seriously wanted to die but couldn't kill myself b/c i had nothing to do it with.
Alright now im out and at the moment i can't even leave my room. i feel this feeling inside my body even its a real edgey disturbing feeling around EVERYBODY! even my family this is the most i've focused on something since i've been out> I have NO motivation and no focus scared to do anything outside my house, but im forced to b/c of parole. Today i had to go sit in a small office with about 40 people in it that had all been to prison for 6 hours go threw some classes with these people and they all saw it on me. I couldn't breath i even started hallucinating a little do to the stress that was put on my brain and people sat and stared and began to taunt b/c thats the game that is played in prison. It's not just that office its everywhere the store, facing the gas station clerk, turning on my light to fast. This is all new to me i used to be a highly energetic motivated person liked to have fun and assosiate with people as you can proubly tell by that pic one of the only ones i have lol old but good. now i can't even leave my room. I also believe im dealing with ptsd along with agoraphobia and bi -polar. My parents are doing what they can but they don't understand. I wan't to be able to support myself get a job go to school go to church go and do things with my life,but this is getting in the way.i keep hearing people say face their fear of people well my fear of people started around people and i was around them everyday and it only got worse and the more i go around people the worse it gets. so i don't know what to do
