Hi,
I have been agoraphobic for about 3 years now. I have only one place in my home where I feel comfortable, my sofa.
Even in the hottest weather, I have to have my duvet over me, the air con unit helps in the summer.
I never answer the door and hate picking up the phone. I am comfortable with people on the PC.
My problem is that I now no longer want to go out, I see no point in it. I don't like visitors as I am so used to my own company.
This is totally the opposite of how I was and I know I must be missing out on life.
I am great at giving advice to others but in this instance I don't know how to advise myself.
I really have no motivation to help myself.
Has anyone else felt like this?
Anyone have any ideas on how I can find some motivation? as I haven't a clue where it has gone.
Thanks
Emi
