Well, today I decided to go for a walk to relieve some of the anxiety I felt waking up, which is quite strange considering agoraphobia is my problem. Anyway, I managed to walk further than I ever have before, even made it to the next street. I was anxious, but it did not get out of control. And even if it did, there is nothing one can do about that. Even though I feel a little anxious still typing this, I think it's a huge step from not being able to walk three houses down the road or leaving my house for that matter. One step at the time :)
Also wanted to know if you guys have any experience with constant worrying about future events (for example going out). I have to see my therapist on Tuesday and I'm playing doom scenarios in my head already. I know that my doom scenarios won't happen on an intellectual level, however, the thoughts return and preoccupy most of my day. Can you guys give me any tips on how to deal with that? I accept the fact that the anxiety is there and it will pass, but the thoughts are just keeping me from what I need to do.
Thanks guys
