Hi there! Agoraphobic here! Anyone else?

Hiiiiiii, I’m Azazel and ever since I moved to Texas on New Years I’ve developed a teensy bit of agoraphobia. It’s not to the point where I can’t leave the house, but if I’m out too long or am around people in general I feel weak in the knees and sick to my stomach. It’s not every time I leave the house though. One of my favorite things to do is go hiking with my husband. It’s a super secluded trail and almost no people go there... it’s paradise to me. Anyway, leaving my fortress of solitude scares the hell out of me, and I wanna know if there’s anyone else too scared to get the mail, take out the trash, or walk to the store alone.

Hi Azazel !

New places can be challenging for sure specially if you left behind a good support system !

I am not sure if you had any issues before moving to Texas but it would be wise to go see a therapist to talk about it .

I have moved states and countries before so I know how hard it is to start over.

Good luck on your new journey ! I have been to Texas before and it is lovely down there ! 😉

I also recommend therapy. It’ll help. I was in Austin recently and had a good time! You don’t want your phobia to stop you from living your life- you deserve to enjoy life! Best of luck!
