Actually, I was diagnosed with mild agoraphobia several years ago. I fight it daily. Mine is not that I am afraid to go outside, but I am more fearfull of being in large groups of people in enclosed places. Which has made me stay home as much as possible. I get very aggitated just going to the store on a busy day. It's funny, but some mistake the word agoraphobia with arachnaphobia (the fear of spiders). I have basically made myself get out and do things. My competing in rodeos has helped to a degree. It gives me a barrier from the people because I am in the arena, just me and my horse, and they can't get near me.
