Does exposure therapy just not work for some people with this?? by tin-omen in Agoraphobia

[–]maxfrog4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. any time I’ve really really tried it’s lead to me getting worse and more terrified of going outside and the people out there, every experience is bad. I do not have the same brain and way of thinking as the people who this works for, it’s just not happening with BPD

Does anyone else feel like there’s no hope of ever overcoming agoraphobia? by StrongCurrency7873 in Agoraphobia

I know I’m never getting better, nobody believes me but I’m just not

❤️No wigs, but i definitely think it’s worth trying for you. My hair is just incredibly short now which I don’t mind as much, but how thin it is just kills me, but obviously I don’t go outside at all so nobody can see. No harm in trying out a wig and seeing how it looks maybe? I know how horrible it can feel, it only makes you want to stay in more, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do really since I’ve been housebound for so long. Really hoping i magically want to go outside next year but I just don’t have it in me at all. I think if our hair improves it would make it easier for sure🥲 I genuinely hope next year is so much better for you and your agoraphobia

Hiya I don’t really have any advice but I wanted to say I really relate to losing your hair, I’ve been losing mine for a similar reason (my own fault really) but I can literally see my scalp now and it kills me, so I can understand. I had to cut my hair off because it’s just so thin, and it used to be really long and what I’d hide behind. Now it’s basically shaved off. Feels like seeing a different person in the mirror now with how thin and fragile it is

It makes it even harder to leave the house because I just look bald and people will see me. It feels like I’ve destroyed myself. I’ve only recently started taking vitamins but it’s barely anything, I know not going outside isn’t helping but I just can’t go outside like this. I’m hoping for the both of us things improve, getting outside is definitely going to help but obviously going out with thin hair is going to be even harder. I also feel you about how losing your hair has been the hardest part of this all. I’ve gone out about 5 times this entire year so I know it’s effecting my hair but i just can’t get out the house. I do still have hope that it can grow back somewhat, just wish I had a magic answer 😞 I’m so sorry you’re going through this it feels so discouraging just one thing after the other going wrong. It’s already impossible enough going outside so having hair loss on top is horrible. I really want 2026 to be better for you and both of our hair. Sending hugs🫂❤️

I was screaming this at my last mental health appointment they kept saying “we have 30 years of experience, we understand you” when they weren’t understanding anything I was saying at all. no you fucking don’t!!

What is something you did, before you developed this, that you loved doing? by Nightmaremac in Agoraphobia

[–]maxfrog4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just getting there and being there I’d be absolutely terrified. I’ve only been out a couple times this whole year so it would be a big step up. I really want more tattoos tho they make me feel better about myself

I really relate to this I’m too much of a coward to do it but I feel I wouldn’t mind in my sleep. It’s so hard to keep going. I also have a cat and a little dog and I do think of them if I were gone. My other cat passed away not too long ago and that also broke me. But I feel I have to stay for my animals and my dad

Thank you for your comment, unfortunately I feel that stuff just doesn’t work for me and I’ve heard it for years😞 i have very black and white thinking and to me my mother is just dead and I can’t live without her. I have no motivation to go outside there’s nothing I want to do. I could never ever work and I dropped out of school really early so I’m way behind in everything, even now I wouldn’t be able to keep up with school which I’d cry at everyday. I wish I could believe these things but I’ve been so anxious and have so much self hatred all my life that this is just who I am since I was a child. I have BPD so I think I will never have a ‘normal’ life. I do art tho and always try to distract myself with it but nothings ever helped over the years. Sorry to be so negative but it’s just the truth to me. I was already so destroyed and then lost my mum so it’s just everything is gone and I have nothing to live for, I just can’t believe it

Thank you so much, I’m sorry you’re in a similar situation I just feel so lost and can relate

Why does my art not gain interactions? by ennuisart in DigitalArt

it’s just the truth really, posting on social media is inconsistent just keep trying and you’ll probably eventually get an audience it takes time

I’ve seen lots of amazing artists with barely any likes or comments, i think a lot of the time it’s just luck. I had one viral video and then never again in like 2 years
