I think what started my anxiety was me staying in the house. I remember me being really sad a few years ago and I didn’t know what was wrong so all I did was stay in the house. Eventually I started having panic attacks back to back and I was just so confused on what was wrong with me so I never left the house. I had no energy, I was sad, and I was worried about having another one. Since I would stay inside the house all day being trapped by walls, going outside made me panic because I was so use to staying inside that outside felt so brand new to me. I think that’s were all this started. Luckily after some years I started to get so much better.

I'm so glad to hear that oliviaaa1 x

I was like that myself. My home which I thought was my safe area after time

became my prison surrounded by 4 walls. Like you I also experienced the panic

attacks inside. So I realized that wasn't the solution to my problem.

And yes, going out for the first time in years was strange. But it didn't take long

to feel comfortable and excited about being a part of the human race again

I'm glad you got there as well. xx

What were some things that you did to get over the agoraphobia problem?

I am so glad that you are doing much better oliviaaa1. It can take a while to get through the sadness but usually if you can find an activity to keep your mind preoccupied like journaling or crafting with friends, that can really bring about a change instead of being alone.
