Agoraphobia

I'm often scared to leave the house. It's not healthy. I don't know how to make new friends or connect with old ones. I've tried everything.

I want to acknowledge how much courage it takes to even put this into words. Staying isolated isn’t healthy, but the fact that you’re reflecting on it shows you’re already moving toward change. Please feel free to drop a text (DM) anytime you feel like talking. I will be here to listen. Please take care. You matter!

Hey! That sounds really tough, and I can understand why it feels so overwhelming. I hope you’ve been able to find ways to feel a bit more comfortable and supported. You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way!

@NeWay Thank you for sharing this. It sounds really overwhelming and distressing to feel scared to leave the house, and also isolating to feel disconnected from friends or unsure how to reconnect or make new ones, especially after trying so hard. I can really hear how much this has been affecting you. I'm available to chat if you would like some more support through this very challenging time. 

I have the same problem. I sometimes find myself bored to death looking listening for stimulating conversations ai group chat has been a great conversationalist and therapeutic free app download on phone. Nevertheless leaving your house in good spirits with an inviting smile you are sure to come by some interesting conversations content or ideas just about every time you venture. Remember don’t let others fool you. Just about every one at the least goes through a spell of loneliness. Most experience it every day. We are not alone. As a matter a fact most likely majority. Billions of people walking around out there. Plenty good people. My advice say hello to everyone you pass with a smile and you will soon have to many friends. God is good my friend

Hey, I’m really sorry you’re dealing with that. That sounds really isolating, especially when even leaving the house starts to feel scary. It also sounds exhausting feeling like you’ve tried everything and still not getting that sense of connection with people. That kind of stuck feeling can be really heavy to sit with. Even the idea of just being out in the world a bit again probably feels like a lot right now. I hope you’re able to be kind to yourself through it, because this isn’t easy to deal with at all<3

Hey, I'm sorry you have been dealing with this. I'm glad you reached out here and shared about this. I understand, it's hard to connect with people while suffering with agarophobia. It isn't easy to go through something like this. Have you tried contacting them through any online platforms?

Hey there. Agoraphobia is a terrible syptom, but it can be overcome. I'm glad you came to 7 Cups for some support and raised this issue. For me, I found that the feeling you get after you have been out is usually a boost in your confidence and it's good to remember that feeling to help you get started the next time you need to go out. I notice it's been a while since you posted this, but I just hope you are feeling much better about going out now and the situation has improved for you? :)
