Well, not much to say really. I've been dealing w/ Agoraphobia for about
5-6 yrs. now. I'm not currently taking anything, as I'm a bit frustrated
w/ the doctors in my area. Anyways, I just hang out around the house
(obviously)and take care of the place. I am able to go out, for like
food shopping and stuff, but the store is like 2 mins away. Blah, don't
want to be a bore. :)

Hello again Blay :-)

Your routine sounds very much like mine! I mostly stay home and do what
needs to be done here. I do get out for doctor and therapy appointments
and usually stop at the grocery store on the way home from one of my
appointments so I don't have to to out again for a while.

I am most happy right here at home. It's my comfort zone. I was
diagnosed agoraphobic in August or September of 2006 so it really hasn't
been that long for me even though it seems like a eternity since that
monster latched on to me and took over my body.

I am fighting with all I have to get my life back. I used to be a
normal working person. I actually loved my job! It broke my heart when
I had to resign as I could no longer get out the door to go to work. :-(
My dream is to be well enough to go back to work sometime in the future.

Thank goodness I just got an approval for SSDI so at least I will have
an income again starting in January of 2008. I have other health issues
as well as agoraphobia but the most frustrating one to deal with is the
agoraphobia as I have no idea why it latched on to ME?

Ok guess this book is long enough for this time. Sorry didn't mean to
go on and on...

Take care,
Lori
