One thing that I have found is that going to safe places in the community really helps a person first start getting out. The grocery store is my biggest obstacle and for that I just take my time and look intenetly at food realizing that nobody really cares what I buy or what I am looking at. I am definitely a home person and choose to go over to people's houses more than in the community but I am starting to go to a NAMI support group meeting. It is hard to be alone and go outside where other people are but taking walks and starting out gradually can really take this phobia away.
Thanks for this!
