I never thought I would come to this. The only place I feel safe is at home. I begin to feel strong but when I go out into the real world I can't look anyone in the eye and I feel overwhelmingly nervous!
Yesterday was bad, the day before that I was elated, today is ok. I wish my emotions would find a middle ground so I could feel \'normal\' or at least be able to get on with my life.
Good Day! Totally unproductive. Spent all morning on DS. Just wanted to thank all of you, whatever support group you are in for any comments. I do not feel sooo alone like I was . I have extreme agoraphobia. Even going for the mail makes me dissociate but the computer really helps. It is the closest I have felt to my \'old\' self in months.
Phobias are pretty awful. Is there anywhere near you that offers treatment?
I have less bad agoraphobia, it comes and goes. It goes because I force myself to go out and desensitize. This is not easy, and I\'m...slacking off, actually.

I\'m glad to hear you are feeling better. I know it\'s tough, and any bit of comfort I get is so much appreciated.
