possibly agoraphobic?? idk
Hello everyone. I've had this account for about a year, but I never really used it. I've been really struggling with anxiety lately. It's been really hard for me to leave my house, which makes it really difficult for me to earn money. I quit my job two weeks ago and while I am looking for a new job, I'm always absolutely miserable and terrified at work. I'm not lazy, I just get so much anxiety. It's difficult for me to get outside because a lot of people take walks near where I live, and while I know logically that no one is paying attention to me I still get so much anxiety and nervousness being within the sight of anyone in public. Even going to the store is almost unbearable. I've only been diagnosed with BPD. I guess I'm really just looking for people to talk to about how I'm feeling. I'd love to go back to therapy but it's so expensive! and I don't have health insurance at the moment. There might be other threads like this out there so sorry if this is a repeated one. But if anyone else is feeling similar or has anything to add, or has any advice, I hope to read your replies. :)
@lilybeth2daisy I have been agoraphobic my whole life, crowds stressed me out once...cold swet and shivers and the ultimate urge to "flee"...I guess I had a childhood in nature and crowds were nevere a pleasant thing for me...but tgen I turned the cards up side down and told myself I love my friends and being qith them so I hosted tge most awesome creppepancake party in a one room studio in Paris with my friends and I fet great, no agoraphobia...
