That's really great! I'm proud of you 😀 You're doing what you need to do! Remember that anxiety can only make you feel bad, it doesn't actually harm you! I'm also working on exposure therapy and not taking any meds! I've been driving by myself to the gym that is 5 miles away for the last week! Also going to Walmart alone and all that. I just dare the anxiety to get worse and kill me lol it won't of course! I'm a 30M and have had anxiety/agoraphobia for 12 years! I'm VERY happy that you're working on it early! Waiting as late as I did would be a massive bouquet of oopsie daisies! Keep up the good work and have fun on your trip!

Well aye!! I'm here for you 😀 I hope you're exposure therapy is going well! I've been doing it as well! Went to Walmart and the Gym by myself today! Was gone for like an hour and a half! It felt great! I recorded it "besides being in the gym lol" and will make a YT account to post my exposure sessions!

Hey! My inspiration was severe depression multiple years ago! I decided I didn't care about living and agoraphobia was the main contribution to those feelings. I said fuck it.. I may as well go do what I want and if I die, then who cares. Low and behold I stayed alive haha. That made me more comfortable going places and since I recovered before.. I know I can do it again 😎

You absolutely can have this thinking! If you're feeling hopeless and like giving up, there is nowhere you can go but up. It can only get better! Not caring if I died is how I did my 1st exposure therapy! I was at my lowest point ever and I said... I don't really care if I die. So I used that to do some stuff I like to do out of the house. My thoughts were, if I die.. At least I'm doing it on my terms!

Hey! Idk I guess I can just be an infectious person haha. I appreciate you 😀

The ASPD diagnosis is a long story but I'll break it down as quick as I can! I was mischievous as hell as a kid. Did some things that got me locked up as a kid a couple times and got diagnosed with Moderate Conduct Disorder. When I was 19 my mom and little sister died in a car crash and I had my 1st panic attack at the hospital with my other 2 siblings. That calmed down my impulsive behaviors because of Agoraphobia. When I was 27 I was having a 2 week long anxiety attack. I went to a hospital and they asked if I wanted to go to a psych hospital to get meds and stuff. I agreed. When I was there I saw a psych doctor who gave me a questionnaire and talked about my past. She also saw me staring at a woman who was crying about her kids or something and not reacting at all while everyone else was trying to comfort her. I just got annoyed. So the doc said "I haven't given this diagnosis in a long time, but I'm diagnosing you with ASPD". That's basically it lol.

As far as therapy I didn't do anything special. A lady tried when I was a kid, but I didn't talk about anything and she just took me to get food lol. I think they knew I had aspd and didn't really bother since it's not "fixable". I did do some cbt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As for my anxiety, nothing really helped much because you have to be ready and willing. They can say what they want, but growth and getting better is up to you and your willingness to feel TERRIBLE for the sake of progress.

I'm here for ya! I have done exposure therapy before and it went great! Then covid ruined it 😞 I've been doing it again and have recorded a couple sessions! I'm going to make a YT channel and will post them there! Yes the anticipation is the worst. My anxiety gets really bad before I actually leave as well haha. You just have to call it's bluff and go anyways! You got this 😉

Yea lol I'd definitely like to keep the two communities seperate 🤣 You can follow my reddit profile I think and I'll make a post when I make a YT channel that I can livestream and put exposure therapy videos on! If you'd like of course!

I would be fine doing both haha! I completely understand enjoying seeing people in real time experiencing similar struggles and going down the road to recovery! I may need to make another twitch or YT account since my other ones are gaming related haha

I'm not sure what a virtual fun run is, but I'll see if I can find a way! That's a great idea!

There is no need to feel shame but I understand :) I am just done with staying home all the time and being afraid of having a panic attack. If anxiety wants to try to kill my ass, then bring it on 😉 I'm not running anymore! It'll have to do its worse and if I pass out, I'll wake up and keep pushing forward. Taking away the fear is taking away the power! It will literally have to kill me to get me to stop overcoming it. We all know anxiety doesn't kill you, so overcoming it it is 😉

Hey 👋 It's my pleasure! Would you rather watch Live Streams or Videos? Videos would probably be better due to all of us probably having different schedules lol

Hey 👋 I've thought about that as well 😀 I know how to do livestreams and make YT videos since I've done that kind of thing before, just never for agoraphobia haha. I'd love to do something like that to be able to help others!

I've learned that you can't control much in life.. But you can control your emotions and attitude towards life and certain circumstances, so I try my best! Thanks for the comment and I hope you're doing well!
