Oh christ i can sympathize with that. I have some days where i just get so damn sick of acting all chipper and how-do-you-do that i wanna punch a wall. I did have a period of pretty intense agoraphobia, and all i can honestly say is: the only way to cure it is to go outside. At first it was difficult, and the only way i could do it was to constantly thinking how nice it would be to be home. i mean, i had a week long period where i got out of the house for only a half hour a day. After a while though of doing mind work outs, it starts to become easier when you thought that it never would. One of the double edged aspects of agoraphpbia too is that as you stay inside and dwell, it only gets worse and worse, and whatever symptom you're trying to avoid start to get worse and worse too. Good luck, hope it eases a bit. And i also hope you
