My fiance has gone to celebrate his dads birthday, in a different town over an hour away from where we live.
Due to my agoraphobia and social phobia i have had to stay at home, on my own.

He went about 11:30am and wont be home until tomorrow morning (Monday).

Due to my phobias i cant leave the house without him, and i dont have any friends so i just feel completely alone and icolated.

I keep crying because i am so bored, Sundays is always worse because theres nothing on TV, and even if there was im sick of just either being on the computer and watching tv. its all i ever do when im stuck in on my own.

I got some card making things yesterday but its not entertaining me as much as i thought it would.

i just dont know what to do or how to make myself feel better, i keep looking at the clock and thinking theres still many hours until i have company again, and after a long day ive then got a whole night to get through aswel.

sorry to hear you feel this way....i had the same last weekend when my partner went away for 3 nights...she's my rock and felt completely lost without her,my anxiety went thru the roof but had to try and keep a cool head as i had my 2 girls with me.....try to keep your mind occupied by doing the things you enjoy...it works for me. I cry all the time too when i feel at my lowest but also find this helps too. It wont be long before he's home so try to relax and look forward to his return.

Cant be easy.

Have you tried devising a master plan for conquering this agoraphobia? I suppose its a little like planning to escape from prison as on the movies. Try and research the best methods. Like setting a goal to the bus stop and just sitting there until the anx disipates. Then try a little futher each time. Why not write a diary of your experience and your anx levels.

I only know as I did this and managed to nip it in the bud. I still suffer a little and feel nervous when out but I just keep going out by myself as the alternative is worse.

Hope this helps.
