Hmmm......

Sounds about right...

Scarily accurate.

Agoraphobia (from Greek ἀγορά, "marketplace"; and φόβος/φοβία, -phobia) is an anxiety disorder characterized by anxiety in situations where the sufferer perceives the environment as being difficult to escape or get help. These situations include, but are not limited to, wide-open spaces, as well as uncontrollable social situations such as may be met in shopping malls, airports, and on bridges. Agoraphobia is defined within the DSM-IV TR as a subset of panic disorder, involving the fear of incurring a panic attack in those environments.[1] The sufferer may go to great lengths to avoid those situations, in severe cases becoming unable to leave their home or safe haven.
Although mostly thought to be a fear of public places, it is now believed that agoraphobia develops as a complication of panic attacks.[2] However, there is evidence that the implied one-way causal relationship between spontaneous panic attacks and agoraphobia in DSM-IV may be incorrect.[3] Onset is usually between ages 20 and 40 years and more common in women.[4] Approximately 3.2 million, or about 2.2%, of adults in the US between the ages of 18 and 54, suffer from agoraphobia.[5] Agoraphobia can account for approximately 60% of phobias.[6] Studies have shown two different age groups at first onset: early to mid twenties, and early thirties.[7]
In response to a traumatic event, anxiety may interrupt the formation of memories and disrupt the learning processes, resulting in dissociation. Depersonalization (a feeling of disconnection from one’s self) and derealisation (a feeling of disconnection from one's surroundings) are other dissociative methods of withdrawing from anxiety.[8]

Wow. Nailed it.

I always thought that Vinnie has invented a new mental disorder.

I used to suffer from this or just plain social anxiety. Learned to get over it...took me several years, but I made it.

This sounds like me, too.

Depersonalization and derealization are the worst things I've ever experienced. I would much rather feel anxious than to feel nothing at all.

I'm going to speak with an advisor over the phone today. I am starting in Fall. I tried to start in summer, but there were 0 online classes.

I meet my obligations, and then go back to my safe haven. I'm a recluse...I was diagnosed with social phobia and avoidant personality disorder.

Yeah, it definitely caught me off guard back in 2004 into 2005... worst two years of my life. In that state of mind, it's like looking thru everything and nothing's real... like you're living a dream and everything is scripted (like life's a movie and you're an actor in your own life). As this point, I suppose it has become part of my personality.

Luckily, I searched the internet back then and found others who were going thru the same thing and that helped me deal with it better. Until I went thru it, I could never understand people "going crazy"... DP and DR made me understand it perfectly.

Honestly, if Cusano is going thru something like this he would have my complete sympathy.

PW, Fuck, Sorry to hear that.
In another awkward coincidence, 2004-2005 was the worst year of my life.
