Agoraphobia Support Group

I guess it is a question of what would u walk the tight rope for? a tight rope across to huge buildings would u walk it for 100 bucks? 1ooo bucks? a million bucks? a new car? a house? someone has ur kids at gun point at the other end? everybody has a thing they would walk it for. so what does it take to get us to the store? the corner? on a airplain?

WHAT WOULD U WALK THE TIGHT ROPE FOR?

Usually people change cuz NOT cuz they see the light but cuz they feel the heat. dont quit smokin cuz u know its bad for u u quit when u have had that heart attack. stop eating when a bigger motivater then the food steps in doc says ur gonna die, hubby left for a skinny woman. ect.

That's an interesting perpective...I don't know what it would take for me to change. I have the smoking thing, the eating thing, the agoraphobic thing. I can't seem to give any of them up. I don't know what it is that would finally push me over the edge and make me stop doing any of them. I'll definately have to think about that one. HUGS

Nothing. I have horrible balance, two left feet, biggest clutz in the world. Wouldn't do it because I wouldn't survive to enjoy whatever was the reward. I mean well... I guess I'd try if a family member was being held hostage or something. But would they still be released if I crashed?

Very thought provoking question! Made me think about how I stayed for Hurricane Katrina cuz I was too scared to evacuate but I didn't hestitate to go to the hospital when I cut my leg with a chain saw days later. When you are certain you must leave your safe zone or die, you choose to live...your survival instinct kicks in. I did things the days following the storm that I would never do under normal circumstances. Hopefully I learned something from that and get my ass out of town next time. LOL

awesome question !!! really makes you think ... I would walk that rope if my kids were on the other side in danger. Money ...heck no lol

Great question!

For me, the only thing that would get me to walk that tight rope would be if one of my kids or my husband were in danger some how.
