    Define agoraphobia..

    I thought i was agoraphobic, not being able to travel any distance from home, always having to have someone with me...scared to go out alone, but i read others on this forum saying they have agoraphobia yet being able to fly goodness knows how many hours to other countries on holidays etc, alot of people i read are able to hold down a job time job, which obviously means they can go out alone. I live 20 minutes from a major airport and i couldn't get there, let alone ON the plane!!!!

    So what exactly IS agoraphobia?

    Panic attacks started in 1992. 1998 i became agoraphobic which lead into being room bound. Couldn't even get upstairs. 2002 i started getting better, able to drive and work. 2005 i became house bound again. 2009 i have been making SLOW progress, still not able to go anywhere alone, but my journeys are getting longer. No where near 'normal' but at least i can go out.
