Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia Voyaging from Cuba to South Korea across the Pacific takes about three weeks on an old freighter, but we knew it had a beginning and an ending. We have been held up in our flat for three weeks with no ending in sight, next week it is said or perhaps the week after that, if we are indoors long, we will get agoraphobia and unable to leave the flat Fearful of the world outside full of people and automobiles agoraphobia is not a joke I have suffered from it on and off. Once I stayed on board a tank ship for six months not leaving the ship once I was saving money for further education I needed help to walk down the gangway. Once in Liverpool, I had another attack unable to leave the house but I got help by a psychologist who lured me on a bus trip, he was going to wait for me after four stops; he wasn’t there I had to walk home among a throng of people So, it might happen again because I tended to prefer loneliness.
