Because I am extra sensitive to certain elements I don't:
I don't travel to any new places alone.
I don't drive on the freeway often.
I don't go out in the hot sun very often.
I don't go to large gatherings very often.
I don't even swim laps anymore for I feel extra sun sensitive, now in my 40's.
I don't apply for jobs that require a commute of more than 5 miles.
I don't apply for any jobs that would seem like a waste of gas and personal time, and if I felt I would not be hired anyhow.
I don't shop at the mall much, w/o feeling overwhelmed by lights and colors and loads of people during Big sales...
I don't even visit my brother for the commute brings up old memories of times when I did commute and this agoraphobia was NOT much of an issue back then.
I hate my AGORAPHOBIA.
My Dr's don't even ask about it.'
And like the military : "Don't talk about, 'IT', and we won't ask about it. !"
