Hi. Does any one have this feeling? I cannot leave my house without my husband accompanying me! I feel that I cannot take care of myself out there. Or people will looking at me strangling! Saying that she is the one with depression! Or they feel pity for me! (No one even knows me!!!). I feel danger outside. Someone will harm me physically!
Do you have any solutions for overcoming this problem? It has been years like this 
It sounds like you are agoraphobic. I actually used to be too. I wound up moving back to my parents town so I could be closer to them and more comfortable going places.
You just have to remind yourself that it's the anxiety and its in your head. Lets be honest, when you go out in public, do you judge people harshly?? Probably not and that is most likely the answer of everyone else. My anxiety got so bad to where I HATED going out of my house, but it got better. I was on lexapro (quit taking it because it was making me depressed when I initially got on it for anxiety) and I think that counseling was and still is my biggest help
Are you getting any therapy for this? Facing your fears is hard to do without coaching and guidance.
Maybe Start out with hubs dropping you somewhere you like to go and feel safe. Have him pick you up after 5-10-15 minutes. He will be nearby, have your phone with his number on speed dial.
Your not wearing a label on your forehead, no one knows you, hopefully with time and practice can peel off that label.
Thanks for the replies. I made myself coming out with my puppy. It is cold so I decided to go somewhere inside which is dog friendly. None was around. Ended up in Starbucks and they told me I should show them a letter and I showed. No I am sitting here thinking that everyone can guess there is something wrong with me that I have a puppy with me
Well done for going out. I assure you that strangers aren't judging you. Why should they be? Are you important to them in some way that they want to spend time and energy thinking about you? I assure you they are thinking about their own life and much too self engrossed to give you more than a passing thought. x
extreme fears that nobody else may understand
Got a job interview. Plus my top 3 choice for therapists in my homecity. Overthinking the decisions
