I wish people would actually research the disorder
I am rarely able to leave the house and it's been like this since 2019. I can't even go into my back yard comfortably. If I do somehow manage to leave my house, I have to sit in the passenger seat of the car,my mom in the driver's seat,and I can't exit the car.
But recently, I got up the courage to actually go into the gas station for a minute or so, and I felt pretty proud of myself even though I was overwhelmed the entire time and didn't know how to act and move normally in front of people,if that makes sense?... But now my mom seems to jump to the idea that I'm "all cured" now and keeps getting frustrated when I panic over leaving the house still.
Every time I make a tiny bit of progress, everyone in my life assumes I'm all good now and acts shocked and angry that I'm still not,it's so demotivating.
