Open Phobia
Type: Agoraphobia (fear of open spaces)

I have had agoraphobia for about 7 years but it's got alot worse over the last 4 years. I also suffer from narcolepsy and bi-polar disorder aswell as other mental illness. I rarely leave the house and if I REALLY have to for some reason then 8 times out of 10 I suffer a major panic attack and cant step out the front door. I often feel very isolated but it feels life a small price to pay for feeling safe. I would love to chat with others out there like me so that I stop feeling like such a freak.

Open Self-Injury

I'm a cutter mainly but I used to punch or bash my arms against wood or concrete until my fingers were swollen and brusied. When I get in that 'state' now I will find any thing sharp and cut myself until I see blood.

It was great but I was a complete zombie and all the people close to me found it very disturbing. I guess it didnt really help I just liked being totally numb.
