Living with agoraphobia is like being trapped by your own mind, where every step outside your comfort zone can trigger overwhelming panic. In this video, I share my personal journey with agoraphobia, a condition that goes beyond a fear of the outside world or crowds—it's a fear of fear itself.

Panic attacks can be debilitating, making everyday activities like driving or walking the dog feel impossible. The invisible walls around my home create a limited life, but even within these walls, panic attacks can strike. Despite the irrationality of this fear, my anxiety brain overpowers logic, making it a constant struggle to leave my safe space.

The good news is that there is a way to overcome this disorder: exposure therapy. By gradually facing my fears, I’m working to expand my boundaries. My treatment program involves daily intensive exposure, driving practice, and interoceptive exposures to desensitize myself to the sensations of panic.

It's a tough journey, but I'm making progress. I’ve learned valuable lessons that I want to share with those who might be in a similar situation. Challenge your fears, be compassionate with yourself, and remember that progress is unique to each individual. Don’t suffer in silence—reach out for help and take steps towards a better future.

Join me as I navigate this path towards regaining my freedom and overcoming agoraphobia. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory. Let's support each other in this journey.
