So I've been learning more and more about agoraphobia from researching using google, and from seeing others experiences on TikTok and I definitely have this issue and want to see how many of you can relate to this?
If you don't know, Agoraphobia is the fear of becoming overwhelmed and being unable to escape a situation or get help. It can make it incredibly difficult for a person to go to new places, or even to just leave their houses.
For around 5 years now I have not left the house by myself. I have too much anxiety around being outside and being in danger, or being surrounded by too many people. I can leave the house if I am with my 'Safe People' such as my mum, sister and my fiancé. I am suffering from this, it causes me so much depression and sadness because I am missing out on life so much. The last time I went out to do something I enjoyed may have been at the very start of Covid-19. I would go down to the beach and do photography since there were no people around and I felt so free and happy. Being in such a busy town doesn't help, but at the start of next year I will be moving to my partners town with him which is much quieter and has a lot more open field areas with less people. Does anybody else experience this issue?
