I have agoraphobia, which is slowly getting better. At my worst I couldnt leave the house, or only to walk to the end of the road and back.

It's not open spaces I'm scared of, it's leaving my "safe place" ie my house because I worry I will have a panic attack outside. I am also scared of being in situations I cant leave ie the cinema, theatre, trains, buses, restaurants, doctors surgery etc however I can now use trains quite well and sit in cafes with certain people.

I haven't actually had a panic attack since the new year.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
