I don't like leaving my house. Before covid I was getting out a little more then what I did before. Then covid hit and everything around me changed.
I was afraid to leave my house again. When we did I couldn't take Koda with me and it made it ten times worse.
I would journal alot more. I couldn't write my stories or sleep very much.
But as time went on and my counseling was over the phone and my doctor raised my nerve pill. I started to calm down.
Up until the fireworks and guns started going off. Then the flash backs and night terrors came.
My meds doctor for the counseling office added another pill to my night time pill.
Now a little every day I get up and do things. First it was my ab machine every day.
Then yesterday I called physical therapy and made a appointment for my foot and ankle.
After that I started to do some exercises. Yes I gain some weight I need to take off.
What Is Agoraphobia?
Agoraphobia is a rare type of anxiety disorder. If you have it, your fears keep you from getting out into the world. You avoid certain places and situations because you think you’ll feel trapped and not be able to get help.
For example, you might worry or panic when you are in:
Public transportation (buses, trains, ships, or planes)
Large, open spaces (parking lots, bridges)
Closed-in spaces (stores, movie theaters)
Crowds or standing in line
Being outside your home alone
You may be willing to go just a handful of places, or you may even dread leaving your house.
Agoraphobia Causes and Risk Factors
Doctors aren't sure what causes agoraphobia. They think it runs in families. You may get it if you have a lot of panic attacks. That's when you have bursts of fear that come out of the blue and last for a few minutes. These happen when there's no real danger.
Less than 1% of people in the U.S. have agoraphobia. Women are two to three times more likely to have it than men, and it's more common in teenagers and young adults.
A few other things that can raise your chances of it include having:
Panic disorder, especially if it’s not treated
Other phobias
A family member who has agoraphobia
A history of very stressful or traumatic events
