I have an odd request ...

My family has to drive to Florida over Christmas for my parents' 50th anniversary, and my wife, who has agoraphobia with panic attacks, is very anxious about it. She says she would feel alot more comfortable if she had a list of names and numbers of people on the way. It's not like she wants to stop in at everyone's house on the way or anything like that ... it's just that having a list like that gives her a sense of safey and keeps her from getting panickey. There is something about knowing that there is someone a few hours away that we could call if we had to that keeps her anxiety level down.

So if any of you folks between DC and Florida would be willing to shoot me a PM with your name, address, and phone number for my wife's list, I'd be grateful. You don't even have to be near 95, just in any of these state would be good enough:

Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, or Florida

Thanks!

the more names and places the better.

it can even be people you know ...

remember, we will never contact any of them, it is just to giver her the illusion that she is not alone. it is hard to explain why that helps, but believe me, it does.
 
Agoraphobia is an abnormal fear of crowds, public places, or open areas, sometimes accompanied by anxiety attacks. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to their home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."

I learned something new today... I am going to go eat dinner but will shoot a PM after
