Hi guys.
My name is Kieran, and I suffer from agoraphobia.
I suppose it started around a year ago. When I was having more and more difficulty leaving the house and eventually had to stop going to work.
I did my best to hide it from people, but eventually had to admit to myself there was something wrong and go to the doctor. It was a difficult thing to admit, but telling people is a great place to start. When people understand, they can help.
Things got a lot better and I went back to college, started going out at weekends again etc etc and I eventually took myself off the pills
A couple of months ago I started noticing things were not so good again, but I guess I noticed it earlier because I had been through it before.
I was devastated because I didn't want to have to overcome it again. But I have :) .
I read some of the things people on this site had to say, and it really helped. I thought I should come back and sign up so maybe I can help others the way some of you have already helped me.
This is a great site and i'm glad to be here.
