About Me
Hi! I am so glad to be here. I have agoraphobia and panic attacks and have had them since the age of 10. I have been housebound twice - once for almost five years and again, for 4 and half years. I am slowly venturing out again. I have tried many different treatment approaches, including: meds, CBT, in-vivo desensitization, psychotherapy, to name a few. Support and reaching out to others is important to me to remind me that I am not alone with this challenging illness! Bless us ALL for having this condition because we are strong people for what we have endured and lost at times...and gained too! I am also looking for friends to chat and email here. Agoraphobia has limited my life and social contacts! Hugs to you all!
