Hi

[hermitcrab]

Hi all. I'm new so I thought I would introduce myself. I have been suffering from agoraphobia for about 7 years. I currently have a driving range of about 5 - 10 minutes from my house and a bit further when accompanied by someone else. While standard treatments have been helpful I have only partially recovered. I think I am more in the acceptance stage now as the goal of full recovery seems unrealistic at this point. Not that I've given up. I still practice my exposure with the goal of making whatever improvements I can (and to stop things getting worse). But I focus more now on what I can do and what I do have and try to make the most of that.

Hi hermitcrab. Welcome. This is a good place to share experiences with people who will understand what you're going through. I hope you find it helpful. Good luck with your continuing exposure therapy.
