Agoraphobia

[Spiritwood]

So sensitive to negative vibes that I've removed all but 2 people from my life. I've distanced my entire family due to the "shake it off" attitude they have. Seriously do people ever really get over this?

People just go get over it it will be fine. I hate that. It’s not a magic thing. It’s like you try to find positives but they seem harder and harder to find don’t they? People reminding us about negatives doesn’t help

Hi Spiritwood, I also distanced myself from family and friends during my 5 years in

struggling with Agoraphobia. It was like climbing up a mountain and they were the

strong winds and snow pushing me downward. I finally realized that they would never understand how difficult mental health issues could be. No one I knew ever experienced it before. I felt like the Black Sheep of the family but became even more determined to beat

this agoraphobia... Which I did....but I've never been the same with the family since I felt

they belittled me in my time of need. Friends turned away and went on with their lives.

I still feel as I've won because I did this for myself. So Spiritwood, yes there are some who

can over come this disorder. Not easy but possible. I wish you well xx
