Anxiety and agroraphobia

NAS79606

Hi guys
I’m struggling to leave the house. I’m scared and start to bend.l start to have anxiety when going outside. I don’t want people to come next to me I just want to be left alone when outside. Don’t get me wrong, I’m also looking for friends but because of this anxiety when going outside I feel it’s hard for me. Is anyone taking something to help with these feelings as it’s affecting my quality of life.

Help please.

  • I find that wireless earbuds help a lot. Since I started wearing them all the time, even if I'm not listening to anything, they've cut down the number of people yelling at me or commenting on what I'm wearing to only a few a week. Plus if I do play something loud through them I can't hear people as well as I could without. I also find that people are about 80% more likely to leave me alone if I'm presenting male rather than female (I'm AFAB).

    The main thing that keeps me going outside every day is determination not to let rude people bully me into staying inside my home.
