> I don't think you are agorophobic. I think you are just craving "down-time" Give it to yourself. You've earned it. Now if you are still in your house next year at this time, i'd worry. Take care, love ya--Tina
> CarolAnn - I think I know how you feel. It is like me and my karate at times. I think, why should I go, I will just hurt the next day. But when I go, the workout leaves me feeling so much more refreshed, mentally. It is that initial push that I need help with. Somehow our minds say that this (eg going out) will not be good, that we don't want to deal with the unknowns out there in public. The unknowns usually remain as such (as experience tells us), but it is enough to trap us at home.

> If you need a mental push, just call on us. We can try to get you out of the door. I just usually try to ignore everyone (the public) when I feel like this and have to go out, but this is easier for a guy to do, because we are usually in a fog when we go out in public, anyway.
