Living like a Hermit

[Dodo777]

How many of you out there are finding going outside hard. Since I became ill I have stayed in longer and longer as time goes by. Its a lovely day and I used to love being out but now I am quite Happy staying in.

If you are happy staying in, try not to worry about it. The key word there being 'happy' staying in. If you're content theres nothing wrong. It's only a problem if you feel you want to be out but for some reason feel unable. You'll probably find that another day your mood wil be different and you'll want to be outside again. Don't put pressure on yourself or force yourself.

Kev, how you doing?

[Kev45 in reply to Hidden]

Not too bad today thanks. A bit foggy headed but not quite as emotional. Dunno about anyone else on here but I find it almost as hard to say if a day has gone slightly better...weird that. Maybe afraid if I say it I'll suddenly be proved wrong?! Not sure. Anyone else feel like that?

And how's your day been?

Hi Dodo, I don't have an issue with going outside but I know some people find it hard, must be awful! 😢

[Hidden]

True. I lived 31 days in my home due to Agoraphobia, and have since been able to overcome my outside fears. If you're content with staying in that's great, venturing out from time to time can really give you new and great experiences though. Take care.

I've been agoraphobic for 7 years this time but have been before too and overcome that but this time around its too hard
