Agoraphobia Support Group

Up until now I was alone in my struggles. As great as it is to know there are more people out there like me, it is also heartbreaking. I am a full blown agoraphobic with a number of other mental conditions. I am a mom of 4 and a wife. My husband and I have been together since I was 17...I wonder everyday if this is the day he has had enough, but 8 years into our marriage he is still here... I married a stubborn man lol. I joined looking for friends, support and hopefully I can help others. I was diagnosed as agoraphobic at 18, I am turning 30 next month. I do not leave the house very often, once every few weeks at best and I spend my day probably like most of you, stuck in the house bored out of my mind. I hope to become friends with all of you and cant wait to read all your stories as well.

Welcome to the group mazkds, I am glad that you found us. We are a great group here and we are all friends. I also have other disorders besides agoraphobia and I know how challenging it can all be. It sounds like you have a great husband you are very lucky to have that support. I have some things in common with you. I have been with my husband since I was eighteen and I have four children.

I look forward to getting to know you better. I hope you are having a good day.

Welcome to the group! Yes you do spend your day as I spend mine! What to do ? Nothing!LOL

You are definitely not alone. I get out of the house around 3 times a week, but it's SO hard to get out the door. I also go crazy from boredom. I used to have my writing, but my anxiety has gotten so out of control and I can't even read let alone write.

This is a great group of people, I think you will like it here.

Hi Mazkds, I can assure you that you are not alone. There are many here who have the same problems as you. I am one of them. I seldom am able to get out of the house. I have not left my block in years. I have been trying real hard to change that though. Here you are going to find a lot of support and understanding.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I really hope that we can all be friends. Support seems to be the key in fighting this beast, I look forward to getting to know all of you =)

I hope to get to know you too! I'm so glad you found the group! This bunch of great people have been my lifeline to the outside world...They have helped me thru some really rough spots in the road and have beenthere to share laughter and joy too! Again Welcome!

I'm one of the ones who can get out with a safe person ..my much put upon hubby mostly ,and I try to most days but have plenty when I just dont want to know .Like Kevin I used to write a lot ,and like him ive found it harder since having to increase my meds..which is very anoying ,I live half my life in books and have found this place to be an abseloute godsend as far as comunicating with the outside world is concerned .

Hope you enjoy it here too and find freindship ,suport and fun..like the rest of us
