Why Is It So Hard To Go Out Of The House?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

My Mental health issues of ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Agoraphobia and being Exhausted most of the time are worse. I go from 100% dysfunctional depression where i do not go out of the house, to about 5% functional, which is when i am actually able to struggle through forcing myself to go out of the house to go to the store or doctor or a 5 minute walk in the park and go right back home.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member. Oh my goodness. What terrible things. I understand much of your fear and terror. Incest. Rape. Abuse. But sweetie, you survived it. You proved your stronger than all those awful people thought when they were abusing you. I know that doesnt help much. But you are a survivor now. No longer a victim. Have you tried online counseling? You dont have to leave your house. Play beautiful music when you go into your garden. Smell the rich earth. Look at the amazing colors. Life has so much to offer. You have so much to offer!!! Try to tap into that superwoman who took all that sh*t and is still standing. I pray you find peace. Light and love to you.

That’s S9 ‘True’ My Friend ...
I’ve Got To The Point, That I Really Don’t Know ‘Why’? I’m Here Anymore And I Will Take It ‘One-Step’ Further And Say, After ‘All’ The ‘Horrendouss’ Experiences, That I’ve Had To ‘Endure’, I Honestly ‘Wish-Upon-Wish’, That I’d ‘Never’ Been ‘Born’ In The ‘First-Place’, As I Can’t ‘Think’, Of Even ‘One’ Moment Within My Life, That Has ‘Made’ My ‘Existence’ On This Earth, ‘Worth’ Or, ‘Outway’, Any Of The ‘Horrific-Negatives’ ...
Then, As You Said, ‘Death’ Is ‘Inevitable’, So The ‘Question’ Is, ‘What The Hell’, Is ‘IT’ All About, As For ‘Me’, My ‘Only’ Answer Can Be, To ‘Suffer’ ...
Sending So Much Love N Big, Soft Gentle Hugs Coming Your Way, Today And Always Mandy ... Trish xx

@A MyDepressionTeam Member. Thanx Trish. Awww Trish ur original post took me bak 2 places that ive tried 2 push way bak no wonder ive got PTSD as well. I hav 2 think i'm a survivor from being gang raped, physically assaulted+++ by my 2nd hubby & my estranged clan. Ive been contacted by the Finance Co that i hav 2 pay the $6K stat or they will escalate it & take me 2 court, this is actually my prick of a sons debt & he owes me over $300K. I nearly rang my mother last nite & thought WTF it's not worth it she would say that Scott told her he has paid all the monies bak & I'm tel'n lies.
No wonder i can't eat & wen i do i hurl
I'm very fortunate 2 hav great friends who i fondly refer 2 as my adopted clan.
Thanku 4 ur kind words Trish & remember we r survivors!!!

@A MyDepressionTeam Member, thanx sweetie 4 ur lovely words as well.

Lovies & Huggles,
Mandy MOO xox

You Are So Welcome Mandy ...
I’m So Sorry Mandy, As It Sounds As Though, Your Going Through A Really Rough Time, With ‘Something’, Believe Me I Know ‘All’ About, ‘Dysfunctional’, Totally ‘Screwed-Up’ Family’s ...
It’s Unbelievable The ‘Lengths’ They Go Too, How Much They Can / Do ‘Hurt’, ‘Betray’, ‘Knife-You-In-The-Back’ Plus, They Seem To ‘Find’, So, So Many ‘Other’ Ways Of ‘Affecting’ You / Your ‘Life’ Too Then, Just As You ‘Think’ It’s ‘Over’ ... ‘BAM’ Somthing Else Is ‘Done’ And Like You Said, Its Like A ‘Loop’ Or, An ‘Infinity-Cycle’ As, “ They Do & Then Sum “!!! ...
I Just Wanted To Say, “ ⬇️ “ Anytime And As For Hugs, Well They Are Always “Coming-Your-Way” Too, Really Big, Yet Soft N Gentle One’s Everyday, Along With So Much Love 💕 ...
Please, Just Remember Mandy, ‘Your-Not-Alone’, Even If Like Me, You Always ‘Feel’ That Way But, Reach Out And Talk To Me ‘Anytime’ My Friend, As I Am Here To ‘Listen’ With A Very Understanding, Empathetic, Supportive, Compassionate Heart, Plus Really Good ‘Ears’ (lol) Too (Sorry, That Last ‘Comment’, Wasn’t Meant To, Make ‘Light’ Of The Situation, In ‘Any’ Way - Its Just I Have Got, Really Good ‘Listening-Ears’, In The Sense Of I’ve ‘Been’ / ‘Stiil-Am’ There And I Really Do ‘Understand’) ...Much Love Always, My Dear Friend ... Trish xx ❣️

I still have throw back feelings of my agoraphobia when I was in my early 20s. I. Get scared to go out sometimes and if I give in to that fear it grows. So I fight as hard as I can to overcome that fear by forcing myself to get out and do something... Even if it's only to take little Jazzi for a walk, I make myself do it knowing I will feel better afterward. It's a constant battle though.
