I've been agoraphobic. Like couldn't even walk down the short driveway to the mailbox. Maybe once you are, you're always somewhere on the spectrum?

That was more than a decade ago,, and after A LOT of CBT, I now consider myself a homebody.

I prefer to be home nowadays, but if I need to or want to go out, I don't think much about it. Back then, it was a struggle to get myself out of the house, even when I worked outside the house. There was a lot of mental preparedness beforehand.

Looking back, the biggest issue was that the agoraphobia was secondary to an anxiety disorder, so even at home, I wasn't always on a good place mentally. Now when I'm at home, I'm just at home, not usually too much anxiety.

So, in my opinion, I guess it depends. If you feel good and it's not holding you back from something else, then what does it matter?
