Hummingbird1950, I can relate to your agoraphobia. I've been agoraphobic since a really bad marriage 10 years ago. I guess I just can't trust people so I don't let people get close. I wish I could. I have 1 friend, my boyfriend.
My big trips outside by myself are usually to the doctor or pharmacy. I don't go anywhere else by myself. I don't own a car, so I walk or take the bus. Thank goodness for my boyfriend. He takes me shopping every week. I feel safe with him at least.
