I have controlled my agoraphobia, though I did go through a spell that I literally did not leave the house for 4 years. I still have social anxiety disorder but am going to do my best to bite the bullet and work though it. When the time come that I can buy, I will do what is needed but right now it is easiest for me to talk to those who ride them and get my best idea. It is a disorder that is very illogical and tough to understand, which is one of my goals to bring awareness to it and second is simply to help concur my own troubles. I intend to order pamphlets from each state I pass though from the mental health association and hand then out and aproach many news papers and see if I can do an interview as I pass through small towns.
