You might think, "Well, what's that gonna do for me?" You'll realize later what an important step this might be for your recovery. When you think about it, it actually makes sense.
Agoraphobia Requires Help & Guidance
Having agoraphobia is difficult enough and you'll need all the help you can get. It's also difficult to get about and you may need to schedule appointments around someone else's schedule.
Unless someone is free to take you, you can't make an appointment because you may be afraid to go out on your own. That's why, don't turn down other resources, because you're already somewhat limited.
You can always do a search on your own to join a chat room that deals with agoraphobia. One good one to join is called Phobics Awareness. You'll may have to sign up so that you can visit the forum as well.
Occasionally, there may be some people who like to cause trouble. They may make fun of everyone or say vulgar things just to get attention. They get a big kick out of it.
This doesn't happen often, but if it does, don't worry about it. Remember why you joined. It's to get well, to learn and share and perhaps help others in time. Those who cause trouble will eventually be banned.
You Can Help & Encourage Each Other Get Better
Remember, this is a place where others have the same (or similar) troubles as you. They know how you feel. They understand. They can sympathize, and so can you. Not many people understand what you're going through.
Some of the more resourceful people may have ideas on how to get better. Indeed, they may already have overcome it but choose to stay, since they've made friends all over the world.
Learn from them. In time, you can help someone else as well, because you know what it's like. Think of what a wonderful service you will do for someone else in need.
Chat rooms dealing with agoraphobia can have a major impact on your life. It will benefit you on your road to recovery. Make the best of it.
You'll look back on this moment in a few years time and realize that this was perhaps the turning point.
