I'm afraid of the outside world
Posted Mar 2, 2011 by anonymous | 105 views | 0 comments
I suffer from agoraphobia (fear of unknown places, and people and places in general). Although I don't outwardly show it, my insides feel like they're on fire every time I have to go out and run an errand, drive anywhere, or go to school. I have unresolved separation anxiety issues with my family (yes, I'm an adult) and spend as much time as possible at home. I'll spend all day in my bedroom with the shades drawn and with the TV on, always studying because I also fear doing poorly in school. If I ever have the courage to go out when I don't have to, I'll usually walk to the mall located near home and buy a few small things. These feelings have been haunting me since 1990 or so, and I feel like a prisoner in my own cell that i've created. But I do feel safe at home, keeping to myself.
