I just recently told one of my friends that I am agorphobic. I explained it and the next day they said they think I can get over it. I told him it is a disease, a medical problem just like being diabetic. He said "people get over phobias, they don't get over being diabetic." I said, some people loose weight and no longer have diabetis, some people are able to fix a life situation and their phobia is gone. Then there are the people who are genetically wired to be diabetic for life or suffer from phobias for life, our chemicals in our brain work differently.
Why does everyone think we can "just get over it." Don't they realize that if we could get over it we would. It's not like this is fun, it's not like I prefer to live my life with ridiculous fears. I didn't go and sign up for this.
This is the main reason why I can not work. People don't understand.They think you are faking or making up excuses to get out of work. It is so hurtful. I have been hurt by so many jobs that I can't even imagine trying to get a real job. I am so afraid of the idea that I recently dropped out of college because I realized, how am I going to pay for this. I'll finish school and won't be able to get a real job to pay off the $40,000 debt. I just dropped out of school on Monday, it is all very fresh and raw. I think I am dealing with it well, I am rationalizing as best I can, but it sucks I was on the dean's list. i know I would have done awesome in my feild, but I am held back by my agoraphobia.
That is my vent for the day, thanks for reading
