Struggling with Agoraphobia

MadCurves

Agoraphobia is stopping me from leaving the house for any reason. I've called out of medical appointments twice this month because of my Agoraphobia being so bad. If I know I have to leave the house for any reason I spend the day before shaking and usually vomiting. I can't believe how bad it's gotten.

      @Harlie I have missed numerous appointments as well. I am not as bad when someone goes with me, but most people do not understand agoraphobia and what it does to our minds and bodies, so rarely can I get anyone to accompany me.

      I'm currently dealing with agoraphobia myself. I haven't been outside in 10 months. It isn't the first time either. Try to work through it in baby steps. Just try stepping outside. Then try starting outside for five minutes. Then maybe sit in your car. Then try to drive around the block. Just little steps of progress each time you go out. I'm about to get up my courage to start trying these things myself. Your agoraphobia should slowly dissipate the more progress you make. Feel free to DM me. šŸ‘

      I end up canceling a lot of things bc of my anxiety/agoraphobia and depression. I canceled two appts with psychologist this month, even though the were badly needed, bc I just couldn't make myself go. I was able to make myself go to this last one and I told her how bad I was struggling with keeping appts. She was super understanding and told me if I ever feel like that again to call her and she would do a telehealth appt so I didn't have to cancel. Maybe some of your doctors would be willing to do that for you to help you make some of your appts when your agoraphobia is bad.
