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."

just wanted to say i can relate....i get so nervous doing my laundry in my building because i feel so scrutinized...because i have been waking up super early lately i have been doing it at 5 or 6 in the morning when there is no one down there....anyway,you should really be proud of yourself for getting it done!
i hope that your doctor's appointment went well,and that you can find a new med that will help you.
