Setback, anyone? 🙋‍♀️ Panic & Agoraphobia

[@gavinc5639]

I hope this information might help you. Recently I have learned about how agoraphobia may be mostly an OCD type of response. You have obsessions of the feared situation. Your compulsion is either your thoughts or you turning around and heading home. I have been looking in to ERP as well as radical acceptance and I hope this approach works for me and you. Honestly most of my pitfalls are because of my inconsistency. During the winter and short days, I traditionally had not prioritized this recovery. But now I have committed to doing at least something every day.

I worked over a decade getting myself to be a more independent responsible working citizen. And then September 2024 it all fell apart. And it feels like my life is over. I don't know how I'm going to go back to work, go on vacations, or be myself again. I'm fully in derealization and I feel like there is no hope. I've never been so dark in my thoughts. I'm scared for myself.

Oh gosh. I just want to reach out and hug you through the screen. Your life is not over!!! Please seek help. Please keep going. When we are in the thick of it, it always feels like it will never be better again. But it WILL. You have got so much life left - so many vacations to take and places to go and people to meet. Maybe I could be one of those people one day. You cannot predict what the future will hold, you can only dust yourself off, and take one more step forwards, and another, and another. Keep me posted - I’ll be thinking of you!

Currently experiencing this and I feel like my thoughts are in complete shambles! At this point I don't even know what to say is wrong with me.

[@LaurenRose.]

Shambles are okay!! Uncomfortable, but I feel like some valuable stuff comes out of there. I reckon some of the biggest changes in my life have come out of an absolute mess of a situation. Hang in there 🩷

Hello there Lauren I really loved this video. These stepbacks are truly something. I have got this little endeavour that I've been tryna pursuit for a really long time now. I did, however, achieve it some extent a few months ago but, fumbled it really badly and haven't been able to get back on track with it. Over the past few months, I have worked quite hard on myself and honestly, I have felt quite a few changes in me. I am scared less often, I am anxious less often, It's like I've found a new confindence minor yet, something. But, everytime I think about approaching for that endeavour again, I just get scared, thinking about my previous mistakes. I know that I can do it this time but still, for some reason my brain just simply doesn't let me go for it. And, having to face it almost everyday, it is growing a little heavy on me. But, hey, It's life and one can't have everything they want.

Minor is still something to be celebrated! Keep going. It’s always a work in progress 🩷

Sorry to hear that, Jake! I’m sure you’re learning as you’re going and you’ll come out the other side with some more valuable wisdom!
