Finally got out

I finally got to go out to some stores near me that I hadn't been to in 6 years (I have agoraphobia) I was surprised by how much had changed. 1/3 of all stores were closed or different. It was a very unusual experience, almost like coming out of coma. I bought donuts and coffee at a place I hadn't seen in 5 years, even how people dressed seemed different. I also got some good deals since the one store I remember since I was a kid was closing so it was 90% off. I guess it was a minor victory going places but it was sad so many places are gone or leaving. I found a pretty good drug combo so maybe this will be my year for going out short distances.

@Tinywhisper11 I hope to have more this year, maybe I'll go to a movie theater, there's one kind of close, or I'll try going to an arcade maybe

@genericbeing Congratulations! I know how challenging it must have been, and I’m so proud of you for taking that brave step. Going out despite the fears is such an incredible achievement, and it shows your strength and determination. Every small victory matters, and this is a huge one! Keep moving at your own pace, and remember that progress is progress, no matter how small it may feel. You’ve got this! 

I also have agoraphobia :-(. If you ever want to talk about it, just write me. Would be nice to find someone who understands the struggle, you know what I mean...

@pikaTangerine1 I've grown to not mind being home most times, I just miss traveling to do some things, like to see nature or to go swimming. How about you?
