Agoraphobia?
This is my first post here, so I will try and keep it brief. I have been suffering from panic disorder for about 10 years, and have developed pretty bad agoraphobia. I describe it as being a prisoner to my neighborhood. I do not really leave my neighborhood. I am on my 2nd day of session 2. I have to admit that I was sort of apprehensive at first, but this program has a way of making things make sense. It's really hard for me to go many places, and have been really nervous about the thought of even trying. I actually got really sick early this week, and last night had to go to see a doctor. I had to travel there, and I used the steps (as best I could) and it was SOOOOO much better than it has been in years!! I am still freaked out by the thought of going great distances still (as my house became my safe place), but last night was a great glimmer of hope. Just wanted to introduce myself, and would love to hear from those who suffer from agoraphobia.

Hi Toriano75! I am so glad to hear of the progress you have made so quickly!! That is great!! I have been struggling with agoraphobia bad and I actually made a trip to Colorado from Indiana (hubby drove)!! But I did start having alot of anxiety while out there and not able to enjoy myself so we came home early. BUT I did make some progress as prior to that I wasn't comfortable leaving about a 4 mile radius around my house!! I can so relate to you but I am getting better and I know you will too. Hang in there!
