I've never posted on a site like this before and I'm not really sure what to write but having spent a number of hours reading though peoples posts and being able to relate to a great deal of them I decided to register.
I'm 26 and I've been agoraphobic for the last 12 years and I was housebound for 5 of those. I do go outside a little now but I never stray far from home and I never go out socially. I suffer from OCD, panic attacks and numerous phobias but having spent many years waiting for help on the NHS and not getting it I've realised if I want to change I need to actually get motivated and make the changes myself but I've no idea where to start or what I'm supposed to be doing! I really don't like living a life that is controlled by fear and obsessions but I'm not sure how to change the behaviour I've had all my life so any help, advice or encouragement would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading
