Well. After several years of suffering panic attacks and agoraphobia, and trying everything from different medications, two stays in the mental health unit, numerous therapists, I have decided to try exposure therapy. Something I have been digging my heels in about for a long long time. I tell ya something...it only blooming works!!!!!

I have been able to do more in the past three days than I have in the past three years. And each day it is getting easier and easier still!

The exposure is actually quite pitiful. Its literally walking to the end of my road and back. But in three days of doing it, today it was easy!! Whilst in terms of geography, its a very very small step, in terms of mentality, its a massive leap!

I am keeping a reflective diary, and also blogging about my aim to recover from this. That helps too. Im feeling quite amazing really. And trust me when I say, if I can do it...ANYONE can!!xx
