This is listed as an alternative criteria with Dr. Graham Hughes/St. Thomas Lupus Clinic over in England and I was wondering if anyone has experienced this.
I wonder because it is not unusal for me at all to avoid going outside if several of my neighbors are out, I am OK if it is just 1 or 2.
I don't like crowds or crowded places, even in my own home, it is pretty uncomfortable for me.
I avoid simple things like getting my oil changed, putting my dog through obedience training, going to church, taking walks or classes truly because I get anxious thinking about interacting with the people.
I get really uneasy and so end up not doing things that I really need or want to do. Does that make sense????
The funny thing is I do fine at work, when I am the "expert or person in charge", this happens more socially and in my personal life rather than my professional life.
Is this agoraphobia or just weirdness in me????
