Do you?! I LOVE all the posts I've read on here, but none of them is recent! Can we get some fingers tappin'? (On the keyboard, that is) I have wondered what actually constitutes a diagnosis of agoraphobia. I much prefer to stay in my house than go outside. I live in the country, so there's lots of private space, where I theoretically know that I'm "safe" and where I won't run into anyone. I'm okay on the property, but I prefer to be in my own smallish fenced tard. But, more than that, I prefer to be inside my home, inside my room, inside my bed!

My car is a "safe zone" as long as I know exactly where I'm going and there isn't awdul traffic. My psychiatrist's office is a semi-safe zone. (I've been seeing him for a year and I feel safe with him.) At first I had to have people drive me there and wait for me in the waiting room.

I CAN go out, sometimes, when I need to. But sometimes, it just seems too much for me.

Anyway, liven up guys! Talk to me!
