feeling! Since I developed the dizzies, I have also been suffering from agoraphobia. I still have to go to work for 8 hours a day or else I'll lose my job, so most of the time I am not allowed to shut myself in doors. It's a HUGE everyday struggle to go to work every morning, but I feel that if I didn't, my agoraphobia would be worse. I'm really bad in social situations where there is no easy means of escaping home. I hardly see friends anymore and am only ever in two places now - at work or at home. I'm only 21 and I feel like I'm missing out on much of life. My doctor wanted to refer me to a therapist as he said that my anxiety is too severe for computerised CBT, but I am too scared to leave the house to go see a therapist! style_emoticons/&lt;#EMO_DIR#&gt;/sad.gi\\... So I don't know what to do really. It's hard isn't it? I find that indulging in my favourite pastimes at home, i.e. reading, films, drawing and photography, really help with the feelings of loneliness. A friend has recommended something called 'stillness meditation', and has sent me a CD - I'll try it and see if it helps! meeshyell 04-04-08, 04:14 PM Hi Vixen !
