I just discovered what agoraphobia is !

I found this out by purely looking on a thread and then googling symptoms
My interpretation of agoraphobia was
You were housebound, couldn’t get out of the house.
DP interpretation was
Fear of open spaces

The nhs site is this interpretation
Traveling
Shopping,any situation where queuing is involved
Keeping appointments, Hospital,dentist,hairdresser etc
Visiting friends,or inviting friends to visit
Attending family celebrations
Attending school,lectures,employment etc

This is me to a tea:blush: I’ve been like this since I’ve been 25 on and off bouts and now aged 60 and it’s with me again.
Gp,psych diagnosis me with GAD

I can’t believe I’ve just found out what agoraphobia really is at age 60 lol

There is this page about it on here:

I’m mid 30s, have had agoraphobia for at least last 10 years if not more. How does it affect you? Do you go out much? I can go on for months without going out at all.
