Re: Agoraphobia - Constant Battle :-(
Hi
I realy do feel for you, i suffered with agorophobia for many years but have finally managed to overcome my fear ( i still have the odd thing i need to conquer but nothing like i used to be,) you just have to keep trying to conquer things little by little till it becomes second nature. I remember been house bound and it took me months to get to the top of the street but i kept doing it every day a little bit furthur. It did take time there where times when i felt like giving in but i had to do it i just couldnt stand been trapped in my home any longer. Another thing that helped me was to tell my self nothing bad will happen while im out doors, whats the difference between been at home or outside, nothing ! so i can do this.
I once remember a therapist saying to me if i take you in my car and drop you off in the middle of know where would you stay there and die of starvation or would you find a way back and try to get help and walk there? What im trying to say when we need to do things in a emergency we can do it, so whats the difference, emergency or not?
Please keep trying and you will get there i promise
xxxxxxx
