i just started the program about 5 days ago and things seemed to be getting alittle better. For instance I was able to allow my husband drive on the fast lane of the highway and and stay there longer than usual, i also opened to my sister-in-law who lives with us. I am horribly house bound and with in the last few months it has become worse I feel i am no longer to be able to stay alone, and cant travel too far from my home unless it is with my husband. THEN IT HAPPENED, I had to walk to my house ALONE. My sister and I had just left my house and she dropped me off at my moms house two blocks away because she had buisness to attend to. I had meat boiling in a pot and had to rush out of the house and forgot wether or not i had turned off the stove. So after much of the back and fourth of the same thoughts i decided to walk there and back ALONE. As soon as i walked out of my moms house the worries sunk in like ton of brick hitting me full force so I ran half ya there not paying attention i fell into mud With my mind spinning and my legs seeming to get heavier on the walk/jog back i tired to keep the thoughts of this is just what it is, it will go away, think happy thoughts mood i arrived back at my mothers and the heavy negetaive jacket just feel off but not until i made it back. Has something like this happened to someone? Not that i am having doughts about the program becausei really believe in it but will i get better at testing the waters? And what are some things that help you test yourself?

Hey there...I read your post and it sounds like you are doing GREAT. Thats a HUGE accomplishment to walk to and from your moms house ALONE with agoraphobia. I dont have that ..but i know what the battle is like. Im so proud of you for sticking through it!! i dont know you but were all in the same boat.

If u wanna know about my struggle with anxiety then let me know ok?. Keep up with the program and it will work for you!
