Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety Support Group
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to their home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."
I got over it. I went to one of the largest social gatherings of my life, surrounded by such magickal beautiful healers such as myself, introducted myself by my real name first, then my magickal one. The Lonewolf. I had gotten over the anxiety by facing it head on, even sharing whtat I have with complete strangers, simply by asking them if they knew what Agoraphobia was. They all knew. So when I said I had it, they greeted me with such kindness and warmth, because I made such an effort to met new people, and they could all see I am a true healer as well. Just by my two walks a day, I Insist on taking because it works. I've been faking till I make it. But no longer. I am truly curing myself of this fear myself. Full force I am conqoring this disease.Blessed Be!
Now since there is NO DRUG that can cure Agoraphobia (they just mask the symtoms)...and not very well, I might add...we might as well plan on getting our lives back without much outside help.
I am close...soooo close. A year ago I couldn't even fathom leaving the safety of my house...now I'm running a route 7 nights a week.
To those ppl who are trapped in their house and think they will never feel normal again......you can...it just takes time...patience and....determination.
And yes, Wolfie...you RULE.
