Hey
I was just diagnosed with agoraphobia. Along with anxiety and depression. I kind of already knew about the anxiety and depression but the agoraphobia is new.. i mean it makes perfect sense now that i looked up the meaning , if fits me to a tee .. but i always thought it was just my anxiety. I am a stay at home mom to a toddler. She told me that i need to get outside and walk for 30 mins a day , specificlly in the sun. Well it has been a couple of weeks and i haven't done it once. I live in an apt building with 7 flights of stairs and ipossible for me to get my son AND a stroller down and up those stairs.. and his behavior isn't the greatest.. i know he will pull in other directions or just plain start having a tantrum, so that makes my anxiety take over and i just can't go out.She gave me a perscription for paxil but i haven't gotten it yet.
i feel so pathetic.. i can't even go out for a walk?
How do you deal with it?
