Hard to leave home

Does anyone else deal with the stress/anxiety of just leaving the house? When I get out I'm usually okay, but just getting there feels like a cliff... I get over whelmed in big areas of people with lots of immediate decisions... Oof I don't like the way this is sounding...

Hi there. I can 100% relate. I was the exact same way before covid. Unfortunately for me, covid exacerbated it into agoraphobia. I have found that therapy and some natural supplements can help. Love your user name by the way. 🙂

Hi I can understand that feeling 100% as I suffer with social anxiety and there's a feeling of doom comes over you when you have to leave the house. And sometimes you can get out and be okay then other day's it is to overwhelming. Your not alone.

Hey! Completely relate. I hate leaving my comfort zone but as you said, it’s usually fine and in my case, I completely overthink the whole process. It’s never as bad as I imagine it to be. Actually I’m always surprised how much better it makes me feel. Just the “getting myself to go” is my problem, like a need a kick in the butt to push me out the door :) Definitely working hard on this issue too. Thanks for your post!
