I have agraphobia, but the wosre part of going out for me is crossing the roads, I'm not so bad if hubby is with me, but on my own I'm a nervous wreck I feel so dizzy getting across, I wondered if anyone else felt the same way. Happy Christmas fellow sufferers.

Christmas is an especially hard time for many agoraphobics. I developed a coping stratergy. You need to do a few 'everyday' things throughout the day - even christmas day. Washing up. Washing. Household chores. Read a book. Play a computer game. When the day seems to be getting out of hand/ you are losing control, go and wash up for 20 minutes. Put on some washing.
It's important to not go too far the other way though, and manically go from one job to another. Just a small chore can calm you down and give you justified breathing space from other people. Love Paul.
Love to all members

Hi Nel,
I also was agoraphobic for five years. Afraid to go outside even to walk to the mail box a few feet away. I could do it with someone, husband at the time. I had to wait until he came home from work to food shop, or any other stuff I needed outside the house. This was a number of years ago and since then I have come around for the good of me. Being you read a lot and you know how to work a computer, why don't you write a book on what you're going through. I did and called it "Fears Flutterby"
Think about it seriously.

Don't walk in front of me I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend
