I do not mean to alarm you, but this is how agoraphobia starts. You do not suddenly wake up one day to discover that you've spent 6 months completely housebound. It starts with a few days a month, then a few days a week, and eventually you can't step foot outside. It is so gradual that people did not realize that I even had a problem until I hit rock bottom!

That is why this is so important for you to bring this up with your treatment team--before it gets out of hand. Explore what is scary outside and confront it. I know you can do it.

Best wishes,

whoswho
