No one responded because you waited only 45 minutes on a forum full of social phobics, agorophobics, and OCD sufferers, among other things. And no, you didn't break any rules.

I'm not agorophobic, but wow. That's some serious stuff. I can't imagine that being too easy to even think about, let alone post it here. I know you didn't post that to have that guy getting bashed, but he gives men everywhere a bad name. I hope you don't think that's normal of us, because it certainly isn't.

I can remember being agoraphobic since I was 12. I developed anorexia soon after. Other traumatic stuff. And now it's like i find things just too hard to deal with.

I can remember a mental hospital stay that I think has deeply traumatised me. I was sent to the wrong ward and pretty traumatised. I just remember people saying things to me that were pretty much the same as what was said to me when I was abused.

I was a very sheltered child right from birth, and doctors believe that no socialization is part of what caused my condition. I was thrust into the world at 18 with no social skills at all and that is a scary feeling and I am a recluse with a safe person, so I do get out once and a while.

mine was because.. i was forced in to having a heart scan by my doctor.... a mild condition was found and he decided to scare the living crap out of me... i started having panic attacks and the rest is history..

2 years on after the scan i went for a second opinion only to find that the condition i had was rare.. but is totally harmless i could never have a heart attack or failure
my new doctor said the only time i would have to consider it was at the gym.. not health wise but finacial .. because once you tell them you have a condition on your form they will want you to pay higher premiums!! Laughing

SO mine was thanks to a doctor playing games! Twisted Evil
