Phobia Support Group
A phobia (from the Greek "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.
I have been told I have Sociophobia. Ok. Could handle that but the fact that I am alienating my daughters is driving me mad. I just want to be on my own. Even the animals get too much for me. Anybody got any ideas on how to help me?

im not sure what sociophobia is but i would guess its a fear of people? have you sought therapy for this? iwould start there. it must be hard alienating your daughters maybe you could talk to them about how you are affected by this and that your sorry that it has caused you to alienate them.

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
