Hi, my name is Josh and I have recently been diagnosed with Agoraphobia. After almost 5 years of not leaving the house my parents forced me to see a Doctor. My Agoraphobia is caused by severe Social Anxiety, even posting on forums is something i find hard.
Before my Agoraphobia started I used to work as IT support at a local school. I was 18 at the time and everything was looking good. Fast forward to now and im almost 23, unemployed, living with my parents. So as you can tell i also suffer from depression.
I use escapism to deal with it all. So books, movies, video games. Anything i can do to take my mind off my life. I know its bad but it "helps".
What did i miss ? err... Im from Hull, not great but look on the bright side, its doesn't matter to me what its like outside.
