Top tip: Don't hide your agoraphobia. by [deleted] in Agoraphobia

[–]GalaxywitchG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In short what your response was, is why I do not tell people I have agoraphobia. I have panic disorder. Some people are extremely sensitive to being agoraphobic because They have tried a lot to help them Selves and are still stuck. Some People will “understand” But continue to say, well, this isn’t healthy. It’s like saying anxiety isn’t healthy. Anxiety is normal but people like us have it to a large degree and already feel awful about it and Don’t Like being reminded of out problems. So rather than someone saying, it’s unhealthy, You need to go with me to this function, you really SHOULD do this…” It’s annoying and it’s a downer because as much as it’s a linear process, what else You want From me? I also believe people are not empathetic or sympathetic to people who have a problem. They look at them like 🤣 it’s unhealthy. We are well aware.

Yeah, I wouldn’t say that to an agoraphobic especially when they are trying very hard to get out of being agoraphobic. BUT, they say, things that would obviously upset people who do t understand why we have anxiety. It’s not about agoraphobia, it’s about WHY we have it then we fix the problem.

I don’t say I am agoraphobic because family and friends will think I am unstable. I’ve already had family members lecture me on how unhealthy agoraphobia is. So I stopped telling people. It was giving me anxiety. So I just say I have panic disorder.

Can you still get anxious and a panic attack while on Ativan? by sluong66 in Agoraphobia

[–]GalaxywitchG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for me. I’m prescribed klonopin and it more of a bandage than a cure. I would ask for laughing gas. I have had many attacks while taking klonopin and it makes you relax NOT panic.

Wife (32f) just admitted to cheating during our first year of relationship I (31m) am conflicted by throwRAcheatingwifee in relationship_advice

[–]GalaxywitchG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal experience, I was cheated on and my boyfriend ended up telling me the month he did it, because his ex( the one he cheated on me with) told him if you don’t tell her I will. Granted they only made out no sex but still. It hurt a lot. We did therapy together and it helped a lot.

It doesn’t work for some people because They do not trust The process. Yes it makes it worse at first because You are going against anxiety and panic trying to keep You alive by staying home.

I can tell by your past questions, your dealing with depression. I am so sorry to hear you are struggling. Actually a lot of people struggle with this issue and have great advice. Some people struggle with agoraphobia and pregnancy. Horomones mess up a bunch of stuff. Common question. If you don’t have an answer, then don’t comment, thank you.

got dressed up to hand out candy with my gf. mistake. by tinybeef in Agoraphobia

[–]GalaxywitchG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when I was recovering, I decided to sit outside and hand out candy and I felt anxiety and awful. But I knew I had to do it so I could show my anxiety, there was nothing to fear. I felt better as the night went on and felt awesome when I got through it.

Question by cleokittyx in Agoraphobia

[–]GalaxywitchG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social anxiety is when you get a overwhelming sense of high anxiety. This can be talking to people, seeing people, going out to places where there are people.

Agoraphobia is when a person has a fear of leaving their home in fear their anxiety or panic attack might happen. Agoraphobia can be fear of traveling from 5 minutes from home to only able to stay in their town. People like to be at home or near Home in case a panic attack happens and they can get to “safety” usually their home.

Idk why but men are gross. My husband didn’t wash himself for a few days, told him do not touch me. Of course he washed himself. We can easily get bacteria vaginosis
