I'm struggling with my agoraphobic tendencies as well lately, so I need to work on that. |
Good for you!
You make an important point. I do think we are so into distraction sometimes,that we forget to allow ourselves to feel, and to process, our feelings.
As you have pointed out, it is not healthy to avoid, avoid, avoid.
I find the more I stay home, the more challenging it can be to get out. It can quietly increase and then when trying to go out, I suddenly find I am more challenged than I had thought. I generally work through it and feel very lucky that I have been able to do so. It can be paralyzing for people.
Are you usually able to work your way through it? Do you have any special tricks for getting through it?
I admire your insight and your strength for facing your feelings today!
