"The severity of agoraphobia varies enormously between sufferers from those who are housebound, even room-bound, to those who can travel specific distances within a defined boundary."
for some time(think years) I've had an increasing feeling that I had agoraphobia, but thought it meant only those who were unable to leave the house...... so told myself no, it can't be.
however, the distance I can safely(as in without anxiety) travel has been gradually getting less and less....and the occasions less and less.
yesterday I had one of those lightbulb moments - the episode of Star Trek: the next Generation where Beverly is caught in Wesley's warp bubble, and her 'universe' is contracting.......and that's exactly how I feel.
I had a surf and found the quote at the start of this post..... so, it seems I 'qualify'.......
now for more thought and search for information.......
in the meantime, it's ok to be in my own wee warp bubble: just knowing that will - hopefully - slow down or even stop it from contracting any further......
and even if this doesn't make sense to anyone else(though I suspect it will......), it does to me, and that is the main thing, ain't it?
to be continued........

That sounds like a really good way to look at it. I've wondered before if you were agoraphobic and thought it was a bit intrusive of me to ask!
