one of the things that my therapist has told me is to use what is called exposure therapy. go out frequently for short periods of time, slowly increase your exposure to uncomfortable situations. it has worked for me and i once fear going out so much that i wouldn't leave the house for days and weeks at time. taking the first step is the most important. good luck

You take those small steps to over come that fear, im not targeting just your Mom , But people who dont suffer from this have no clue or idea , they all think its a mind over Matter 9 as i did once upon a time ) until it happened to me then i had that reality check your mom needs to relize you cant just "TALK" and say you need to , no you need to Rolly when Rolly feels the need to, however? theres that Positive thought that you need to put before those 1st Baby steps meaning? you need to tell yourself point blank i can do this and? im tired of living like a fear'd hermit !, but i cant stand pushy poeple in general who have no clue until you make them do there homework on this and get there Understanding like i had to for my spouse !! like she learned when she had her 1st Panic attack 2 years ago! Now she knows ! its not a mind over Matter its a disease that is seperating the good balance cells in your head ! they are split into ( sort of speak ) into 2 groups 1 is negative 2) is positive you have to learn to bring them together , just like an agressive dog, People put down an agressive dog just because its agressive , well that agressive dog is suffering from Anxiety issues, and its no different from People but labeled and carried out ina different effect from us its a true known fact as i have learned ! first hand! but Mom is just being A` Mom!

i understand you guys are coming from thanks for the responses
