Hello everyone!I just wanted to let you guys know that I got my drivers license yesterday!I had to sit there and take a written test because my license had been expired for three years.I have not driven for longer than that.I was housebound for about two years.I then drove home!This was huge for me!I'm tackling all this without therapy because I don't have the money.I hope that this gives any of you who are housebound or have severe anxiety that there is hope!Never give up and put yourself out there!You can do it!!Feel the fear and do it anyway!That truely is the key to beating agoraphobia and anxiety for that matter.Take care and God bless you all!!

Thats AWSOME fear not!!!!
I to, like brandie, am house bound and have been for almost a year now. Just the thouht of sitting in my truck makes me panic. After reading your post I too feel encouraged by it. It gives me hope that I will be able to overcome this fear in time.
Thank you, and keep up the good work!!!!
