I also suffer from agoraphobia. If you call the center for about $20 bucks they have a driving cd that helps you to drive, also take a journal with you so you can journal,positive self talk, and everything will be ok. Try to take one thing at a time and practice driving everyday and go a little more each day. I'm going to be having a baby soon and teriffied. I'm going to haft to go and stay there. Shew! I know how your nerves are right now. Well if you have a cell and need to text somebody when that time comes let me know.I'll do the best i can to keep you calm and walk you through it. Good Luck and Congrads to you for not putting up with being treated like that and standing up for yourself! You are very brave and this will help you recover. Best Wishes!

Hi, Mollysmom! I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles. But, HANG IN THERE. You can do it!
I didn't have the same situation as you by any means. I was married for 18 years before I threw him out in December of 2000 for abuse. There were many kinds of abuse in our marriage. It was bad. But, I was scared to be without him. I also didn't believe in divorce. So, I threw him out, but after that it was like being on the edge of a cliff not knowing how to hang on. He filed for divorce a a few months later. This really scared me. He had always told me that he would take the house, the car, the kids and leave me sitting in the street. I shook like everything during our divorce trial, but I got through it. With the help of a lot of people, I found out that I had anxiety and depression. I went through counseling, did the Program (I'm on my 4th go-round right now), took some dance lessons, read a lot of self-help books and did a lot of praying and soul-searching. I'm not perfect by any means, but my life is so much better. I'm so much better as well. Just know that you'll get through this. Think positive. You can do it! Take care.
