    Talking Success at last

    I have managed at last to go to a Asda superstore yesterday and a Sainsburys one today with my wife. It has been about a year since I was able to go to these public places due to my agoraphobia. I had hardly any anxiety but a bit of dizziness. Car travel and public transport is my next goal. This success has spurred me on to try bus travel soon, I do go by car but do not enjoy it. I will not be defeated. Thanks for all of your support.
    Ron

    Congratulations Ron
    Well done on your achievment

    It is not an easy thing to do when you are suffering with agoraphobia, I know as I have been suffering for the past three years. You must be feeling over the moon with yourself. Like you I have real trouble travelling anywhere by car, I haven't tried public transport yet. The only way to cope with the anx/panic/agoraphobia is to do what you are doing, face it and don't run away from it.

    I look forward to reading about your other successes.

    to you

    Well done Ronski.

    Was it hot in ASDA?

    I too have a goal relating to public transport. I used to travel alot and rely on public transport, the majority of the time. I get panicky on public transport and my goal is to travel for atleast an hour by train.

    My panic attacks are less freaquent on buses and I used to have panic attacks in taxis but that seems less frequent too, these days.

    I have a tip for you. Sit at the front of the bus. Then you don't feel you are sat with other passengers and you get fresh air from every time the door opens.

    These kind of successes are an inspiration for us all. It shows it is possible and we don't need to be confined for the rest of time to this situation. Thanks also for all your support and constant help.

    All the best

    Well done Ron
    I find in Asda I stand with my hands on the freezer compartment when I get hot and panicky in there and if anyone stares - I stare back and smile - sod them - I have every right to feel panicky in a supermarket - and Im dealing with it - my way!!!!!!!!!! Wenjoy xx
