Shut-In to away from Home for 5 days.

[Donny]

Approx 4 months ago I was not able to leave my house due to to massive panic attacks and agoraphobia. Most of the regular members in here know me and know how bad I was.

However, 4 months down the line with the help of cipralex, CBT and old-fashioned guts I am back to work and have been away from home with work for two periods of 5 days. Travelling a total of just over 3100 miles.

It was not easy but anyone who is stuck in their home due to agoraphobia can hopefully take heart that it can be done and you too will get back out there and fulfil your life.

Even if you start off with something as simple as going out your front door and walking round the back and in that door. (that is how I started.)
