@catharineistrying: Maybe I was too confident going into this? I didn’t wake up dreading going to the movies for exposure therapy - so I really assumed my medication as a precaution would help, just in case. I can’t even pinpoint what made me feel anxious. I didn’t feel trapped, I just felt pure panic. I had no thoughts in my head. Nothing was saying “I won’t be able to leave the theater” or anything like that. We even had a friend with us and it was fine. I don’t know - it was just one of those for no reason panic attacks. Sending love! 🤍 #agoraphobia #exposuretherapy #panicdisorder #panicattack #MentalHealth

I’m proud of you! I’ve struggled with the same thing but I’m not medicated because it makes me anxious (go figure 😂)! Going to the movies used to be my favorite thing ever and in recent years my anxiety and panic attack disorder got so bad that I stopped! This weekend I went to see resident evil and really pushed myself. I had to go the bathroom and calm myself but you know what? I went and sat back down and enjoyed an awesome movie with my friends! So I’m proud of both of us! We can do hard things 🫶🏼

Hii! So I’ve been struggling with agoraphobia and one thing that i noticed that helps a lot is cutting out sugar! The freezie you got is loaded with sugar so definitely keep that in mind for future! Ofc you can eat whatever you want but just some advice 🥰 you’re doing amazing

I'm glad you made it through! The last time I went to the theater it was 2023 and I almost fell asleep lol! My attention span these days is shorter so I need lots of breaks, which is why I just watch at home. But I might go for Doomsday

I actually love going to the movies by myself because if I feel like I can’t do it anymore I can leave mid movie without making anyone else leave and knowing that’s possible almost makes it easier to stay
