All the time unless someone is with me

Hello :-)

I am agoraphobic and have not been in a shop in years

Don't let this beat you , keep going , find a coping way that suites you but you must as hard as it is get in the store , I wish someone had told me I would end up stuck in 18 years when I first started feeling this way and encouraged me to keep going , I would not want this to happen to anyone else so don't let it beat you :-)

Take Care x

Keep battling don't let it win like I did I wished I had kept facing the fear rather than what I am left with now , you can do this :-) x
