had to go see a dentist today to get xrays and a cleaning which is an hour long visit. it was only like 3 or so miles from my house but it felt like I was on another planet, but after being there a bit I felt pretty calm and was able to make it through. then after, feeling bold (lol) I decided to go get a haircut on my way home, which was almost entirely anxiety free. i was so scared about the dentist and the drive was further than I thought but im glad I pulled it off.. I have to go have bloodwork done in another town like 6 miles away and im so scared and I have to get my daughter to a dentist at the end of May that's like 9 miles away, I hope I can hold it together.

I cry every day about my agoraphobia. At one point, I said to myself "id give up anything to be free of this." and my mind asked me back "would you give up comfort?" and sadly, my answer was no. I guess until that answer is yes, I will remain trapped here, even though im not even fucking comfortable. im just less scared than I would be outside.
