Other Agoraphobia?

[melody]

The procrastination to go out is obvious too - dressing, washing, getting organized is very slow, and if I try and speed up I forget things like my wallet or phone, the address I am going to - I suppose the anxiety of going out causes confusion and disrupts clear thinking. Things like packing for a trip are very difficult and trying. I try and remind myself it is just a symptom and hopefully in time will ebb away. But I sure hate not being able to be normally active, out and about and enjoying life.:(

This is me to a T Countrygent! I always procrastinate when getting ready to go out and I even stand in front of the door, sometimes for a couple of minutes before opening it. And then again before going outside, to reassure myself that it's safe out there. And forgetting the address I'm going to - I did this a couple of weeks ago, only it wasn't the address, it was the unit number I forgot. Talk about having a panic attack when I realized I was standing in a strange place and didn't even know where I was going. I suddenly felt so panicked, that I backed myself into a corner and couldn't move... Luckily the person came looking for me. :)
