@lexana I know she is not wanting to see my illness and I understand what you're saying. I do need a supportive environment and when I told her that she just said she had been, she needs to understand that I need more and that my recovery depends on that. My mother and I have always had a very...

@Chava Thanks for the support, I talked to her again this morning and she went on the same lines, saying that I should just get over it. I ended up screaming at her, because I was so scared. I honestly felt like killing myself because if she didn't understand then I felt like no one would as I...

@digger I've had a chat to my therapist and she's told me that she'll talk to my mum the next day she can and arrange another meeting, she seemed to echo your message. I am really hoping that my mum'll be more understanding even though she may not understand.

@digger Yes I think that the more my therapist speaks to her the better, when a similar situation happened before a talk with my therapist was all she needed to stop getting angry with me (temporarily anyway). This was before my diagnosis and I thought that after explaining all that intricately...

@digger I'm 19 but I have bad agoraphobia that only seems to get worse the more I push myself. I am in therapy but my therapist hasn't talked to her about it, it was only very recently that it was diagnosed. I think that she's trying not to see it and she's still convincing herself that I can...

@Simply Simon Thank you, I tried telling her and showing her, I thought she'd see but she's still telling me that it is my problem and that I should get over it. I have honestly never felt worse because before I thought she understood, but telling me to get over it over and over again today...

I was feeling really scared and panicky this afternoon when my mum came to get me from the bus stop and when she discovered me panicking she got really angry and started going on about how 'positive thinking' would stop me being like that and that my whole life would change for the better if I...

I feel that this argument is arguing against a few definitions of free will. Free will could be, having the free will to make decisions in ones own life and set of circumstances. Free will could also mean having the free will to turn oneself into an aeroplane. Free will does exist in the first...

@Muzikluvr I really didn't think you were trying to convert people or insult anyone, I'm sorry if I came across that way, I just needed to express my personal opinions because religious views can be misinterpreted, I wish you the best. :) Also, I was bullied for my beliefs at school, people were...

I haven't tried hypnosis for that purpose, but I have tried hypnotherapy. Thanks for the suggestion though, it sounds like a good thing to try in the future if my current therapy doesn't reveal anything .

In reply to Muzikluvr, I agree with everything you're saying, the only discrepancy is the religious angle. I agree with your list wholeheartedly and understand your argument (I think to its entirety) but I am also very religious. I do not oppose scientific evidence, how could I? Science is...

Yes, that is like my situation with stairs! My friends know how I get and they now offer an arm automatically and I've even needed to phone them to come and get me when they were literally one floor above me. I know how that feels but I can't get to exactly where it comes from. It feels so...

I'm not sure, I can't remember being abandoned, but even phobias tend to be rooted in somewhere, it's just the intensity of it that I don't get, I'm scared of spiders but I never get a feeling of complete helplessness when I see one, I'm scared of so many things but my body reacts to stairs and...

This is a major issue for me, I've always been scared (since I can remember) of being high up, even on the second floor of a building. This means that I have a fear of stairs, elevators and escalators. The latter two being worse for me. I always get intense fear when climbing a flight of stairs...

I didn't want to start any morality quarrels, I don't see how the existence of free will gives way for a discrepancy of miscarriage of justice. If the murderer or other criminal where to see their wrongs and want to start a better life, they should be given that opportunity there are biblical...
