Feeling alone

[Anixety]

How to just walk outside? Agoraphobic and I only go out 1 time a month scared to death of being out. It's been this way for 3 years and death is all I can think that will just make this go away help pls

I hear the pain in your words. I hear your frustration snd desperation. I also hear a willingness to seek constructive answers; a desire to be healthy; a desire to feel free of the pain and burden you carry.

Agoraphobia can be an overwhelming weight to bear, but it is “curable.” This is something that doesn’t have to impact your life like this forever. There are counselors especially trained to teach you how to address, cope with, and overcome your fears. It isn’t simple or easy - but it will be oh so profoundly worth it.

Please consider speaking with a professional or perhaps begin with a free online support group. You aren’t alone in your suffering and you don’t have to stay in the darkness. There is light ahead of you. You’ve already proven that you have everything it takes to succeed simply be joining this community and writing this post. You completed step one and reached out. Now we move to step 2. You can do this - and we can help support you while you do.

Dear Anxiety.

I have never suffered with Agoraphobia, but can understand your reluctance to go out, I’m not medically qualified to advise you, but a friend who lives in the USA has the same problem, but she is getting around it by going out for a walk around her local area just as it’s getting or has become dark…… this is only a suggestion but of course it’s your choice.

Good luck.

I suffer from agoraphobia too. I understand how you feel. I joined yesterday and just saw your post. It made me feel better that someone else feels like me. We will get through this. 🦋
