    man, I understand..... Its safe here. margurita and i wont tell.... when I get multiple days off in a row its very hard to go anywhere..... I just love being at home. I do have a garden tho,,,, and it is a noce place to be. In the early 90's i used to see how many days I could go without being seen by anyone....... not even thru a window. I think longest i made it was 4 days....damn having to go to work. WELCOME . N8N

    Hi Nathan and Margurita~
    Nathan, you are so lucky to have a great garden to live in and I agree with Margurita about the kitchen~The kitchen is why I rented this place~I'll miss it when I move~
    I am moving to Portland, OR after the holidays and I hope to find an affordable place with a garden area and a killer kitchen to cook in~
    Wish me luck~

      My kitchen is a HOLE....... I worked on the yard before doing the kitchen. I have control issues to deal with contractors tramping around and taking FOREVER. I plan to do most of it myself come spring...... but it is REALLY bad. Good luck finding a place Michael, Im sure u'll do ok, = )

              I guess this is a secret of mine.
              I am here to support Evelyn, Myself and any others.
              I have a VERY public life.............on-line.
              I can count how many times I have been outside my apt complex this year........on one hand.
              I have a VERY large garden and an art studio.
              I say I way too much.

                  Evelyn,

                  You kind of know me.

                  Would you have ever thought a guy like me would suffer from Agoraphobia and anxiety disorder?
                  There are few other personality and mental disorders I suffer from.
                  Internet has changed the way we can behave.

                  I have travelled my entire life.
                  I was faced with a series of incidents that left me with PTSD.

                  We adapt to our disorder and continue..
                  There are many thereputic answers.
                  I just choose to adapt for now.

                    you don't put yourself across as someone with any type of anxiety... but many people... especially those with an artistic temperment do tend to pull into themselves...

                    the net is great for giving people who would otherwise not have any type of social outlet a way to make friends and interact with the rest of the world

                      The NET has allowed me to do this.
                      It is forcing me to go to the airport BY MYSELF and pick up slave.
                      I am fortunate enough to have complete freedom when accompanied by an adult.

                      Having slave here will allow me to play tour guide and get out daily.
                      I have noticed that if I get out daily then if I keep momentum up then I can do it myself.
                      With PTSD it does not take much to hermit again.

                          ello there, everyone! I too am agoraphobic with all kinds of other crazies. I too love to garden, though mine is really suffering right now. I too am in love with my dog, Nigel (she's a she)! I panic when the doorbell rings, I don't leave the house for weeks at a time, and yet I find myself wanting (needing) to interact with others more than ever, and am quite an outgoing, friendly, social person when I can be (when the medication is working well and/or when I'm in the right state of being: confident enough to try to go out and centered enough to enjoy myself), though this has become a little harder now that I can't drink with the meds I'm on. Woah, lots of info about me! Well, as they say, honesty is the best policy. So, because of a search for the word "agoraphobia" on tribe, here I am!

                    Hi Evelyn,

                    I was just thinking the other day, I am happy the way I am. I have talked to gys I meet on e-harmony, but I'm not sure I actually want to meet them in person. A boyfreind never seems to understand why I hate crowded restaurants and other places where lots of people are sitting. No matter what I try to look like on the outside inside I'm climbing the walls to get out of there. Eventually my anxiety becomes to much to hide and he starts asking "the questions". This always leads to him telling me I shouldn't let it bother me and to just get over it. Next time a date does this I'm going to politely stand up and walk out on him. He he doesn't get it to h#ll with him.

                      hi kim... i tried that online dating thing... and i was like you... i didn't want to meet them in person... i finally hooked up with a friend of my niece... he's a very sweet, caring, understanding man... he's as happy sitting at home with me and his computer as going out... sometimes he does like to go out but he lets me choose the restaurant so i choose the one that is least crowded... and it's only for a couple of hours... so i can handle that... and if i decide i need to go home... he takes me home...

                      i've noticed that he is trying to get me out of the house more... he knows that when he's not here i don't go out... he doesn't pressure me to go out... but he suggests things ... like we went to a car show last month... it wasn't very crowded and we were able to stay out for several hours ... and we go to the movies... the cinema is small so there isn't usually a huge crowd... sometimes we eat out when we go to the movies... that is the hardest part... lucky for me he likes my cooking ... so we eat at home a lot... he's a good man and he takes care of me... and that is the kind of man you need...

                      i would advise you not to tolerate someone who can't be understanding of your needs... if my pet wasn't so understanding i would not still be with him... usually i end a relationship within three months... we have been together for nearly a year now... there are good men out there... the only problem is we have to go out there to get them... lol... i'm lucky my niece had friends she could bring home... you should have people you know... like family members... introduce you to their friends... you never know when the right one is right under your nose

      I don't think I'm, how is it spelled, Agoraphobic? I get out a lot to the gym because I like to exercise or just go enjoy the pool or hot tub. Or catch up on errands, or yikes shop for cloths, I hate to shop for cloths. The witch at the changing room always gives me dirty looks, and rolls her eyes when I don’t back the stuff I don’t want. GO TO COLLEGE Then dummy! Come to think of it most of the running is for the kids I have. Keep them busy, they don’t keep bugging me because their bored! But send them to their dad’s and I go straight home and lock the door! I was thinking the other day I'd make a good millionaire because I already desire to be a recluse! It isn’t going out that bothers me. I hate getting bothered by other people. LEAVE ME ALONE! Yea I get lonely, I like to have friends but I don’t like crowds or nosy F-ing neighbors!!!!!!! I want to buy a house and put a big hedge around it so I can be LEFT ALONE when I step outside!

      Do I sound angry? I’m just sick of my neighbor. Her door is right next to mine. I find myself sneaking around to the back door so I don’t get STARED at or APPROACHED EVERY TIME I OPEN MY FRONT DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Hi kim... good thing there is a big hedge around this room. = ). I have a neighbor (and yes the houses are CLOSE) that starts screaming at the top of her lungs very early. Bothers me most on holidays and weekends , cuz sometimes I wanna sleep in. Ive heard her loud and clear come 4:30 am...... On the 4th she was having some kinda fit (en espanol). So i just went on to my patio and started blasting music and went back to bed. Its easier to ignore loud rock then her loud screaming ass. Ida rather shot her up the a$$ with a rocket (do I sound mad?).......... and speaking of hedges, she complained when I planted some morning glories on the fence (every lil bit helps to try and muffle her out). SHe said they attract mice and bugs.Yeah mice love eating morning glories, LOL. ... DId I mention her yard is full of plants and ivy..... but Im sure HER PLANTS dont attract any bugs. SO now that the morning glories are gone (shed just poison them if i didnt comply to her request) Im using that area to store the ugliest junk in the open air in her full sight..... bet I can get some buggers to live in alll that mess,,,,LOL. Lets all move to the town of Agoraphobia , grow hedges, viney fences and email each other. = )

          i understand about wanting to build hedges... my neighbors don't yell... they ring my door bell... they are nice enough people... but if i don't have to leave my house i don't... some mondays i unlock the door that has been locked since friday when i got home from work... so now its getting to where i don't even want to leave my bedroom ... or my bed for that matter... my fiance is stationed in texas two days drive away... so getting out is not as easy or as important... i don't like to go out if he isn't with me... wish they still delivered groceries in this area... sigh... so i still have to go out sometimes... bleck
