Another new one...

[AKM]

Hello, my name is Alan and I'm a pathetic agoraphobic who can't deal with life. (Never use this as as chat-up line). :)

I've sat here for five minutes since I wrote that line, it's harsh but sadly a true description of myself. I really don't know what else to write. I'm usually not so miserable, but today has been bad and as ever, I can't see an end. I thought I might find a site where there are other people like myself - people who understand. I've completely run out of ways to keep myself occupied and when that happens I begin to sink.

I'm not entirely sure why I came here, or even if I'll come back, but I feel a little better for writing this.

Anyway, hello.

Hello Alan,

There are surely many people here who feel like you so dont feel alone or pathetic. This site is run by sufferers who know what its like to go through these experiences.

Agoraphobics can and do recover - have you had any help with this?

Hi AKM,

It was good to read your post and then see you had come back. There are plenty of folks here who can relate to what you say and being harsh on ourselves is par for the course!!

The big thing though, is you are neber alone here and support isn't too far away.

Take care

I have had a very bad day; totally broke down earlier this evening. Some days are just impossible. I've been sitting here for three hours... I have no idea what I'm doing or what to do; I'm typing this to occupy my mind rather than anything else. I just don't see an end to it.

Also, I think I've just lost the only friend I've managed to hang on to, so not the best day I've ever had.

Bugger.

Hi.

Welcome to the forum. You will find lots of help and support here.

You said you think you have lost your friend? Perhaps you could give them a call and try and sort things out?

Do you have any hobbies? Something you could occupy yourself with. Hope this helps.
