So I'm meant to go out Xmas shopping tomorrow but haven't left the house in months, and haven't been in a shop in even longer. Any tips please? I usually use the 5,4,3,2,1 technique

Social Anxiety

Anxiety (Including GAD)

Agoraphobia

I don't have agoraphobia, but there was a time that I had similar symptoms. It was difficult for me to go in stores and sometimes I had a hard time even leaving my yard. During that time, it helped me to have someone with me. My boyfriend helps me feel more confident, so I always asked him. Having him there to keep me moving and find a quiet spot of I was overwhelmed helped a lot.
