I'm stunned that you gave yourself such proper compliments! Absolutely, you should feel proud of every tiny milestone and challenge you were able to overcome. You left. You left multiple times. With a new person. In a new car. On a new route. At night. You can see how this all adds up so quickly. You are on the right track. This video totally made my day. Thank you, and I hope to hear more from you. So proud, Ashley. 🤗

Well done. Don't let anyone belittle what you've accomplished tonight. At your age I was in a really bad place with my mental health and didn't know if I'd make it but don't believe that your 'youth' is the best time of your life. I'm older now and I feel better than I ever have. So keep on going and challange yourself and feel good about yourself. It's a journey. Stay positive x

Good to see you are still around. For me, overcoming fear of death helped a lot. Never expect others to understand it anyways. Just accept they wont

You should be so proud!!! ⭐️I can relate so much to you. I've actually been following your for a long time, but ive been too shy to comment. I've been struggling with agoraphobia since I was 13 and I'm in my 20’s now. I've been completely housebound for several months in periods... I do go out today, but takes a lot of effort and my range is very limited. Like you said about exposure, I don't do it as much as I should. I can stay inside for weeks and just go to my mailbox or throw the trash out which btw I don't take for granted because there have been times when I haven't been able to do that. It's really difficult to go against the anxiety, but also find motivation when you're alone in it. Sometimes I wonder if it's possible to get out of it when you had it for so long... I wish💕💕

Wow! You don't age at all! I saw the notification of your last video, but I think this video might be more appropriate to my comment, I have been following you for some time now because of my own agoraphobia (and AvPD), and it is amazing to see how much you have changed, I know going forward with change is a real hard decision. Personally to me, everything went downhill after the pandemic. Now I'm practically a NEET (again) after years struggling with shitty/stressful jobs and people, and trying my best to keep going on. Now I kind of feel everything is ruined in that aspect as my choices and chances are extremely limited. I don't have much hope about most neurotypical people being able to understand what Agoraphobia or "AvPD" really signify, don't care if they label me as a spineless pusillanimous loser or whatever, this is not about a switching a mood or being sad. It is pointless to explain why I'm a social and emotional “cripple”. Battling Inner thoughts/demons every single night, seeing your days/years wasting away in a room, living in depression and still taking shit from people for what you are, is basically some sort of ultimate challenge against human nature, so I think It is important to know the worth in that, most people will never understand it. PD: Your new denture looks really cool, btw

Agoraphobia isn't a logical disorder and I feel your frustration. I've been dealing with it since 2013. You have to constantly retrain your amygdala (lizard brain) despite thoughts and sensations that pop up. I'm doing it all alone right now. A year ago I couldn't even walk to the mailbox. It's not about getting past it as much as it's about consistently retraining your lizard brain. You may want to check out "The Anxious Truth" by Drew Linsalata He developed agoraphobia and taught me how to "panic the right way" First off, congrats on getting that far. This means you have COURAGE which is essential for working on agoraphobia. It doesn't matter how you feel, it only matters what you DO. When you have thoughts that make you pull over, do the OPPOSITE. Your lizard brain will always send false alarms and you have to learn that they are always wrong.
