I just need a little insight and to let some things out, to start with my husband and i got into a fight last weekend. He got drunk with some of his friends and he came home at 2 in the morning and jumped on me and to this day i still don't know the reason to it.But he said some harsh words to me that night. Im severly agoraphobic and i can't leave my house and i've been like this for going on 2 years now and he was saying i was stupid and things about me not going anywhere and it hurt me so bad and now the crap just keeps rewinding in my head and i try to stay busy but it don't seem to stop it.
I done this program once already and was doing really good i started leaving i didn't get to far though maybe a mile down the road but hey that was a start and now i'm having a few setbacks which is fine cause i'm not giving up.
Anyway does anybody else here have agoraphobia?
If so how are you doing or how are you working on getting over it?
i need some insight

First thing...I'm sorry that your husband treated you the way he did. He obviously doesn't understand what you are going thru. It sounds like he should be going thru the program too !
As for the agoraphobia.....when the panic hit me at least 5 times a day, I was housebound. I somehow managed to get to work, but there were a few days I had to come home. I forced myself to go for a walk everyday. It started out going to the end of the block, then I went around the block, now I go 5 km (3.5 miles approx) a day. I feel so much better after the walk too. Take it one day at a time and 1 block at a time !
