Look how far I have come

30 Replies

This speaks volume, I’m seeing my doctor at his clinic, no home visits, no reason to be sedated cause just the thought of being outside paralyzed me with fear.... I’m here. This is what strength looks like, in case you’re wondering if it gets better it does, it took me years to leave my house, months to make it to the park and here I am.

That sounds very cool. Try using daily journal for tracking your thoughts and any other noticable symptoms. Don't forget to take your medication that is really important and vital. And consider also of joining FreeRice by solving word quizzes to click-to-donate absolutely without any money, which will quite kill your time!! Good luck mate.

That is wonderful, Danielle. I find you so inspiring. I have been agoraphobic for the last 3 months. I feel so stuck, but seeing you make such progress makes me think I can too. Love you, my friend. 💚

in reply to bluestars725

You absolutely can love, take tiny steps, you can start with just getting out the door and make your way to the mailbox. You can do this

Great news that you have now overcome this awful thing. I have been agoraphobic for 2 Years now.. How did you manage to finally overcome it?

in reply to Ragdoll15

Home therapy, I started with making it to the door, took me so long to make it to the sidewalk, it's definitely not an easy road but not impossible either, I have been agoraphobic for years
