Goodness. Don't know how I missed this, Mark. I would have had some stories for you...I've been phobic and with OCD since I was a child - as far as I've been able to determine, it began when I was 7 years old. It has been worse at some times than at others, but it never entirely leaves. It got so bad at one point in the 1980s that I was almost completely housebound for nearly a year. I'm much better now, and managed to work myself out of the agoraphobia (I finally just decided that I couldn't go on like that and broke myself of it over several months of determination and willpower), but I still have anxiety attacks from time to time. |
