This morning felt like a neutral one. It got to be a good one when I decided to be effective. I chose my mood and did some housework. Good stuff.

For the last few days, however, my courage has...

Hi, I'm Alice.

I just joined a group on this site : "Agoraphobia, let's cure it!"

I am the only currently active member. I'm encouraging people with agoraphobic tendencies to please join. The...

For the past few days, not much has been going on. But today held a wonderful Accomplishment Of The Day:

I went out with my boyfriend, before he left to monthly U.S. Marines training. We had an...

Lol I love your post. It's everything I would like to advertise about Phobics Awareness.

Hi, I sent you a private message. Just wanted to reply to your post.
I know I have quite a few hobbies I've invested into over the years due to my agoraphobic tendencies. What do you do in you...

It's scary how easy it is for me to come across posts that I can completely relate to. This is one of them. I've always been shy, but that developed into anxiety during high school. And after...

My name is Alice and I'm 21 (female).

I suppose I'm the same way. When I'm with a good or cheerful person, or surrounded in a positive environment, I can't help but feel the vibe.
I hope to see...

I know there are many simple things you can do, like find a hobby that brings out the best in you and stick with it. But I've never found a solution to my problems. I was going through cycles because...

I suppose I only experience a fraction of what you do, with cockroaches and things with numerous legs, like centipedes. I don't have them where I live now, but as a child back in my hometown, I could...

I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. I know it's difficult for your husband. I can relate to some of the symptoms you described. I also know it must be just as hard, or even more...

First, this is a great thread. I hope to see others post their small but significant accomplishments of the day. I know I will.
Second, don't anyone be discouraged to post things that may seem too...

I didn't grow up with abusive parents. My father might've been, but he passed away when I was really young. My mother did the best she could as a single parent, always stressed out but providing for...

Paranoia - I've never really thought about it like that before.
Sure, I sometimes have to go around the house and close all the window curtains...and be on the lookout every time I step a foot...

I'm 21 and also live with agoraphobia. I've always been shy, but after high school, it was difficult for me to start my own life. And every year afterward was harder than the previous one.
I took a...

Today, I want to go around town to ask for volunteer applications, but I can't
I want to visit my aunt and her youngest daughter that I haven't yet met, but I can't
I need to jog around my...

I also suffer from agoraphobia, although it is somewhat difficult to admit it. I spend most of my days inside my home, and the rest at my boyfriend's place. I can go to the store and run a few...

I love it. What more can I say?

Hi, Kristina.

I have severe anxiety and a social phobia. I can't go outside in the day without having a panic attack. My sleeping patterns are everywhere. I'm currently falling asleep at 7am and...

Hi, A.M.

A lot of people on this site have had similar experiences like yours, including myself. And many of us are around your age. I know what's it's like to start feeling you're about to have a...

Hi, Sue.

I can closely relate to your son. I used to be much worse, but what got me through most of it were my family and friends. I was the first to admit I had a problem, but it was they that...

Hi, Tracy.

I have a lot of panic attacks, and some days I get a dozen or so. It was fine before I started college. But the pressure of being a full-time student right out of high school...
