I'm on the other side of 40 and have suffered from this "disease" so to speak, it's absolutely horrible.. you think you are on your own and the only person who suffers with it, it's been over 20 years for me. The worst times were when I stayed in bed for weeks on end not wanting to face the world and plucking up the courage to even go into the back yard in the sun instead of congregating with the neighbors on the front.. it's only recently that (I've kind of embraced it) and just happy chilling out with my dogs at home..no drama with dating and yearly relationships, just keeping myself to myself, and glad my family know where I'm coming from.. could luck folks in any of your situations, I don't think any two are the same ✌️

After dealing with agorophbia for over 20 years or so only recently just started to embrace it.. I'm happy when I'm at home with my two dogs. It's good to hear peoples stories..(don't get me wrong I wouldn't wish it on my own enemy) the doctors tried me on pretty much every antidepressant in his book, yeah...it is what it is but I've accepted it
