I was talking with an older lady like myself yesterday and the conversation got around to why each of us don't drive. She said that one day when living in NYC she went to work worked on 28th floor of a building and couldn't go up. Just fear. She was then terrified of even taking a shower in the house without her husband. She remained this way only with husband for a total of three years then one day she said there is nothing that I can do. Ever since that day she just does stuff with the exclusion of driving. But she never ever took a med and is fine now . She is 70. My point being that all the fears I also have if I could accept them and just do could just disappear. I need to start driving again also. Both of us have never liked to drive. So anyone else thing acceptance could be the cure for agoraphobia, anxiety, depression. It just struck me that maybe it is the answer? Phillipa
