Just venting...
I love daydreaming about the life I could have if I didn't let my agoraphobia control me. I get so jealous watching movies/shows where there's a group of friends who are out in the world creating their life together that's all I crave :/ I want to go to festivals with friends I want to go on roadtrips I want to experience college I want to pursue my dream career with my friends by my side I want to experience the feeling of renting my first apartment and having friends come over for a house warming party I need a person I can comfort when they need it I need a person I can cry with someone to have deep meaningful conversations with I crave connection so bad but it feels impossible to have a normal life like that. I can't even walk across the street to get my mail without having to give myself a 2 hour pep talk how the hell am I suppose to ever truly live I feel like such a pathetic coward.
@unrequitedaydreams No your not a coward. Please do not put your-self down.
If you would like to talk, please send me a dm.
I will listen and do my best to help you, ok?
It might take me a bit to respond back, but I will.
@godlovesus Thank you <3
Welcome to the site. Hugs. I supported you if you ever need someone to message with. Being able to walk outside to get mail is a huge deal/accomplishment for people with severe cases of agoraphobia. I'm proud of you for being able to do that.
@Jordan5683 Thank you it really means a lot
How are you doing today? Hope you are coping. Wondered if you are in a Dr's or therapist's care regarding your condition? Is it stress related to anxiety, PTSD or knowing a panic attack is gonna happen? Is there anyone who can "walk you through" a simple beginning plan to do more things like 'get the mail?'
@Littlesis7 No I am not in any form of treatment. I was against medication and therapy for awhile after bad experiences but recently I’ve wanted to get back into treatment. The problem is my phobia has increased so much to the point it’s hard for me to speak on the phone with people let alone go in person to get blood work done or pick up my prescriptions. I still fear medication if I’m honest.
i dont have agrophobia but i do have another type of anxiety so i can’t relate the same way you do but i do understand how u feel and i hope you get to experience the things u want to do
@k4seyleigh agoraphobia isn’t something to get over it takes alot of energy but on the upside people can get it to a point of some control
