Hello Kitty,
I was dignosed with OCD and panic disorder 7 years ago. First it was just OCD, panic appeared later that same year and then agoraphobia followed very quickly. i guess i learnt to avoid things very very quickly.
maybe i could be of any help - i also am a very good listener and am not ashamed to share my thoughts either - so please, feel free to write me at ikunia@yahoo.com
maybe together it could be easier? here, in Poland, not many peopl seem to understand what i am going through. but i have some good friends.
lease, write!
