What would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why?
tw // mentions of panic attacks + hospital visits
definitely my safe spaces! my agoraphobia makes me very, very attached to places where I feel comfortable, for example,,,,,my room 👀 it's like a safety blanket that I can always come back to. I know I'm okay here.
leaving my safe spaces causes anxiety and panic attacks. if my parents were to move, or if I was suddenly taken away from here, I probably wouldn't be able to cope,,,,at least, not well. the closest comparison I can give is when I used to travel - it would take a week or two to adjust to new surroundings, during which I wouldn't eat much and worried my nutritionists aha. by the time I had adjusted, it was almost time to go home! but that was back before my agoraphobia was this bad, so,,,,,,,,,who knows.
willingly giving up my safe spaces seems pretty darn impossible right now. it would be so, so hard to just walk away from this place! I'm not sure if I could.
I know I might have to, though, since my treatment is clearly not working. I'd probably be better off if I could go to a hospital for who knows how long and break the habit of closing myself off. but I dunno. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. we'll see.
