Hey Grumkrieg. May I ask what your name means? It sounds vaguely German, but I'm not sure. XD

Komori, I was thinking about your situation, and wondered if you've ever considered getting a degree online. You said your dream was to be a zookeeper iirc, so you could get a biology or zoology degree online (I believe that's one of the requirements to be a zookeeper) while working on overcoming your agoraphobia.

My mom is a therapist and has worked with agoraphobic patients before, so I could ask her if she has any suggestions, if you want. All of this is much easier said than done, but I know you hate being stuck at home constantly.

It would be lovely if she had any tips for me, if you could (: and yeah, we're thinking about doing my college and stuff online so that once I am finally out, I'm not playing catch up.

Grumkrieg...If my knowledge of German is correct, krieg means war. No.clue whatever Grum could be. It doesn‘t sound too happy though :P

Well, she said that the most successful form of treatment for it is a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy. CBT is essentially learning relaxation techniques and how to displace negative thinking. Exposure therapy is more self explanatory: the person is slowly introduced to whatever causes their anxiety in a controlled environment till the anxiety ceases.

Here's a somewhat crappy photo of the new kitty. It doesn't really do her unique coloring justice - I've never seen a cat this color. Her body and tail are a mahogany tabby color and her chin and face are slate gray. :)

Haha thanks for the warm welcoming guys! xD.

And my name is a mix between "Blitzkrieg" and "Grum". I would really not want to delve into the details of why though.. hehe

Kitty isn't quite so cute when she uses the bathroom on the floor instead of her litterbox.

Have any of you been kayaking before? It's really fun, especially at our local river, because it has a few eyots in the middle that you can land on and go exploring.

I haven't.... can't believe I haven't... my bro has a kayak.... course he lives in california though....
probably should go white water rafting or something of sorts sometime, I really haven't done much boating.
