Any success stories in dealing with this? Other than behavioral therapy? Thanks in advance.

Beatzen, Personally I have not experienced this. Do you have a therapist that you are currently seeing?

I just got over it by forcing myself to face my fear, i just tried to ignore it when i went out of the house, remember baby steps too. I had no choice but to get over it when i got married because we moved out of my city, into the country. I am still a bit agoraphobic and have a hard time getting myself settled until we get where we are going in our vehicle and the way home scares me too. There are deer, thruways, drunks on the road and all kinds of bad drivers is what i'm thinking while im out for a ride somewhere, but i guess i have no choice, i'd rather stay at home alot. I have doctors appointments, many ailments and mental issues too, that i see doctors for. I was in several vehicle accidents which made me a bit more agoraphobic i wish i could always feel comfortable but i don't see it in the near future, i just have to deal with it the best i can and think positive too.

Unfortunately my agoraphobia has worsened progressively over the years, beginning when I was 8. I'm now 37 & in the process of claiming disability. Though I also have panic disorder with severe panic attacks a few personality disorders, etc. I have accepted it as part of who I am. I hope that's not your future, I hope you find a way to rise above. Either way you're not alone in your struggle. I wish you peace.
