CarolAnn,
I don't think that wanting to stay in the house means you have agoraphobia. Now if you were petrified to walk out the door, that might be a different story. I think it's pretty normal for some of us. If I didn't have work and little league keeping me so busy I'd stay home all the time too. It's just such a hassle sometimes to get out and deal with things (that's why I sweet-talk my wife into doing things for me...) Besides, if I remember correctly, having a 2 year old doesn't leave a Mom time for much else anyway.
I hope that you are feeling well and the little one isn't running you too ragged. I think about you both often.
I'm feeling pulled in too many directions these days, but seem to be holding things together...so far. But being a Mom and Wife I'm sure you know that feeling only too well.
Hugs,
Greg> I think I'm becoming agoraphobic(sp?). I've realized lately that I just don't want to leave the house. It's not that I'm afraid of anything 'out there', I just want to stay *home*. The ironic thing is that I always feel better if I go out. Especially, having a toddler to entertain, getting out and about makes the time go faster('til my husband gets home). I keep putting off errands, we're so low on groceries right now, my poor baby has no milk. Luckily, I have to get my Xanax refilled today, which I can do at the grocery store(of course, I'll leave the house for my drugs!)
> Well, I don't know what else to say, I just needed to talk to someone. thanx for listening. CarolAnn
