@missoreo Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! We are all meeting virtually and converse while we walk and exercise. Come on and join the crowd! It sounds simple to take a step outside and get going, but I know when you are battling agoraphobia it can be a challenge. So, let's get those shoes laced up, and open the door. Walk around your livingroom and kitchen. Tomorrow do the same and consider standing on the porch for a few minutes. Eventually you'll want to extend that to going down the driveway to the post box. As we all will say, "baby steps". Forgive yourself on the days when it feels so overwhelming. Deep breaths and feel how proud of yourself you are for considering joining us! We're proud of you!
