are you housebound ?

How many people are housebound because of agoraphobia...just curious

Feel free to introduce yourself...

Hi, fred, welcome to the forum! Are you housebound? Sorry, I know it's not the reply you were hoping for.

To a certain extent. I would leave the house if I feel I have to (ie. food shopping, money withdraws) but even that has to be under the right conditions, otherwise I stay home.

I'm housebound.
Everyting I enjoy in my worthless life is in my apartment.
The times I leave it's because of some shopping for food(damn I wish I could shop food online...)
or get some packages from my local post office.
And when I shop I often have my mother with me, since I enjoy her company and feel like I need her.
But when I leave alone I must(read MUST) have my Mp3-player with me.
If the battery dies I could just jump infront of a bus or something.

Not completely. Anywhere from 2-5 days a week, typically, I'll be too anxious to leave my apartment, depends what kind of week I'm having.

I'm Juliet, by the way, nice to "meet" you.

You can food shop at amazon dot com

I can't leave the house at all, but I have someone that shops for me. If I didn't, this is what I would do.

I'm only trying to be helpful. Please don't be mean to me.

I don't panic anymore. I am however housebound. I can walk around by myself but have to know that my mom is nearby. So she accompanies me on ALL appointments, therapy, & other wise. :<

i hardly go out except for the basics, unless it's warm, then i am a river-rat! my mother never leaves her house......

I am housebound....and have been since August 2009. I can go to my grandparents house across the street but thats as far as i've been in almost 2 years. I hate it!
