Well today i decided that i was going to go in to the Gas station, and i did, and felt great. That made me feel awesome, but later on that day, i tried to go somewhere with my mom and when i went in the lobby i sat there for a minute, and ended up going back to the car, i was so proud of myself, earlier, but just kind of bummed cause i didnt stay in the store! For all of you who dont know, i have agoraphobia and im trying to get over it! Thanks for reading!

It's great you accomplished even 1 event today so reward yourself for the triumph and don't worry or think about the other. it's all about baby steps and we need to dwell on the positives

and not any of the negatives.

WAY TO GO, A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!

YAY FOR YOU!!!
I am considered a moderate agoraphobic so I know what that feels like. I have a BIG trip coming up for New Years and I'm slowly trying to work myself there.
What monty's mom said, about being proud of what you did accomplish, and forget the rest is very important. Thinking of the negative you're creating a mind trap...it's easier to think of the bad in ourselves over the good....it's about being positive and staying in that mind frame....feel free and confident to be proud of yourself for you did do...I'm proud of you because I know what that feeling is like and it can be scary!
