Description
Yes you may use this stamp!(For some reason the stamp saying "You may use this stamp" is not coming through, but anyone can use this stamp!)
Stamp for agorophobia awareness. It is usually thought of as the fear of leaving your home, although it is more complex and complicated than this. Those who experience this have my greatest sympathies.

I don't have agoraphobia, but I'd feel terrible if I were to call in sick just because I'm afraid to leave the safety of my home.

Many branches of this bother people. I happen to fear open spaces and if I cant see the wall I get VERY frightened. I am glad people like you have respect for others.

I used to not be able to gather up the courage to check my mail but now I can leave home so long as I have a family member or its not far. I have progressed but I dont know if thats what I had. Alot was happening to me @ that time & just needed to seclude myself so I could feel safe & outside just felt like a hell on earth to me.
Thanks for the stamp. you wouldn't think people find it amusing but I wouldn't be surprised.

I have agoraphobia. Luckily it's not so bad that I can never go outside, I have like a "safe zone" that can vary day by day, I also cannot cross bridges due to it nor use public transport *sighs*

you are like me. kinda like a "functioning" agoraphobic. i've come along way over the years. i can take the train now without freaking out. but the bus, always wanna run screaming from it. doesnt make much sense, huh? lol

When does agoraphobia ever get made fun of? Except for in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. :U

I guess in anime it can be amusing. Or cartoons. I definitely would laugh at it then
At the time I made this there was a local news story about some poor woman who hadn't left her bathroom, in 2 years! Her boyfriend was charged with neglect, and I forget what else.
Stuff like that isn't funny, at least to the people going through it. Just thought to make a stamp about it.
