I have my friends and my husband’s friends and their extended circles and so on… that’s how I make new friends mostly. Not really. Even though I have anxiety, I’m not necessarily an introvert, which is a bit peculiar.

I did experience that. But the lockdown was the major trigger for me that generalized the anxiety. Guess I just never left the lockdown.

No, after. I met him online in 2021. The dates were exclusively him coming over to my house.

Yes, I actually live a very social life. Since people know I’m always home, the house has become quite the hotspot.

I’m gonna admit I haven’t watched any shows or movies that portray agoraphobia, but I’ll write this down!

Oh, that’s easy. The professionals just come over.

Dressing up is one of my favorite past-times. So yes, I do. Thanks online shopping and having people around to send shopping for things not available online. ::)

I feel safe in my immediate surroundings, which is why I’m able to go outside on my property. I get no anxiety. Besides that, no, not really. Well, before 2020 it used to be bad only in crowded public places (stores, restaurants, malls, etc.), then the lockdowns hit and it took me over completely. So who knows, maybe one day it’ll change. I’ve tried seeing a therapist / psychologist / psychiatrist, but nothing has worked. So for now I’ve given up on finding a fix and just enjoying life as it is.

Indeed. The advantage of living outside the big city is lots of land available. :) but of course it also means a longer commute to work / errands in the city…

I don’t really understand what you mean by cosmetics. Could you please clarify? Thanks. :)

I run an online jewelry shop on Insta. But my parents and husband are the ones who bring the real bread home.

Basically all kinds of activities that can be done indoors/outdoors on a private properly. Now that it’s summer I really love the pool. I love working out and sports (tennis, volleyball, basketball, yoga…). Reading, watching stuff, cooking/baking… there’s no lack of activities.

These situations can include public transit, shopping centers, crowds and queues, or simply being outside their home on their own.”
