Hyacinth 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2014 Hello. I am new to the forum. I joined because I have a pretty extreme fear of driving, and possibly agoraphobia. I am hoping to learn more about these issues, and hear other people's experiences, and maybe share some of own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flo 5 Report post Posted November 20, 2014 Hello Hyacinth , I am glad that you came into forum , I understand to have such a fear of something , it feels like it is crippling to you . As for Agoraphobia , U may well have it ... if you can give me more info on what your feelings are, and have you talked to a counselor or Dr..?? I am a recovering Agoraphobic , who can do some things like go out to certain places , and lead an almost normal life, but with many limitations , I try to work around them . I have accepted them and do what I can .Also there is Dino , who is a member she suffers from severe Agoraphobia , unable to leave her house at all.. so WE would like to say a huge welcome to you .. !!! :)/>/ :rolleyes:/> Love , Flo xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
