Hi Folks

I wasn't going to post but then i thought....Begger it! Lol

For those who know me, you'll know that i am agoraphobic and have only recently started getting out again by taking a daily walk to my local shop.

Well today has shown me that i can push myself and i can get out again.

Started this morning with my walk to the stop. Then i went to the dentist with Ben (my boy child). Then i went for a little run with my fabulous mum in her car and tonight i attended parents evening at Bens school.

I really feel good. Sure the nerves kicked in now and again but i didn't dwell on it and i didn't have a panic attack.

I know i can do this now and i really did enjoy feeling part of society again!

Watch this space coz Lisa is on a mission.... :yahoo:

Well done Lisa :yesyes:

I bet you are really chuffed with yourself :yahoo:
I have been agoraphobic for many years and your story and that of Lynn's has given me great hope that things will and do get easier. My support worker is coming out each week for 2 hours starting next week and reading encouraging posts like this has made me more positive. I am sure before long I will be joining you on that mission!

You know what I think Lisa. Good on ya girl.

I dont understand how both you and your Mom went for a run in her car. Must be a very big car to even walk in, let alone run.

Whatever.

Keep at it, keep getting stronger and the Anx will get weaker.

I have been on meds on and off since i was in my teens. In my case-i definately function better on them rather than off.

I just started going out with my dog around the block. Kept that up for a while and then started walking to my local shops, been doing tht a long time now so decided to up the anti by going outside my 'safe zone' and coped really well.

Don't get me wrong hun, there were points where i thought my heart was going to jump out of my mouth but i stuck it out and the longer i stayed in the situation, the batter i felt.

It's just a case of starting with little things and building them up when you feel you are able.

Jolly well done Lisa. It's always, always good to hear positive stories like yours. I know you don't wish to get carried away but it sounds like you're doing really well and long may it continue. :yesyes:

Hi Lisa,

So glad you posted on your progress; I was in your shoes hun.
I started with small steps and built on them; I can now leave the house without thinking about it. I even managed public transport on my own lol.
You will get there! Onwards and upwards:yesyes: http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/6605/congratulations0pi2.jpg
