Re: Will i ever get to be normal!!!!!!!!!
Hi
I used to be the same as you hun, i couldnt walk down the street, i could only go places in the car etc because of my agoraphobia but i just wanted you to know that you CAN and WILL get better so never give up!
I have suffered with Agoraphobia for 12 years and was trapped in my house for 2 years but things have improved for me lots over the last few months, its been real hard at times but it does get better.
The thing that helped me the most was to keep doing things over and over and over again, for eg, walking down the street, keep doing it everyday making sure everyday you walk a little futher, same with the supermarket, i hadnt been in a supermarket for 5 years, But i started with small steps by going in the doorway then the next day having a walk inside, then when i felt comfortable with that i purchased 1 item and just kept doing a little more everytime i went. What i am trying to say is, the more you do it, the more it will build up your confidence to the stage where you wont even think about walking down the street or supermarket shopping it will become just a natural thing to do.
please never give up there is light at the end of that tunnel !
Love and hugs
Andrea
