I can really relate to what you're saying in your posts. I'm agoraphobic with panic disorder, too. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your story. When you made it to the store, I was so happy for you. By the way, I get really cold sometimes when I sleep. I need a lot of blankets handy even though I get hot easily, too.
