Where is Natascha Kampusch now - 'Completely lost'

Linked from http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,9294,2-10-1462_2044895,00.html

News24 gives an update on Natascha, who claims she still is afraid of crowds and going outside alone, four months after her captivity ended.

-----
Kampusch now lives in her own flat under the care of three social workers but travels to Vienna's nearby General Hospital where she spent her first weeks of freedom when she needs a break, the magazine said.

And the 18-year-old says she only dares to go out when accompanied by her parents or her caretakers.

"I still feel completely lost by myself," she told News.

Natascha also said she hopes to spend next year away from the media spotlight and focused on her studies.

Good luck, Natascha.

Dear Natascha
I am very much in awe of the way you made yourself stay in touch with yourself and never gave up the dream to escape. You are a remarkable young lady and I wish you every happiness in your life.
