hmm and i dont know what this would be called but i dont like to swim in places where you cant really see the ground. You know like when its like this blackness underwater. errrg dont like that. i mean i can swim just fine but its just this fear of not knowing whats down there.

Well this agrophobia shit hit me a few years ago for no apparrent reason. Im not house bound i just don't really go anywhere that involves any type of distance :/

[quote:5ecbc]Many agoraphobia victims develop the disorder after first suffering a series of panic attacks in public places. The attacks seem to occur randomly and without warning, making it impossible for a person to predict what situation will trigger such a reaction.

The unpredictability of panic attacks, "trains" the victims to anticipate future panic attacks and, therefore, to fear any situation in which an attack may occur.
