“Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by symptoms of anxiety in situations where the person perceives their environment to be unsafe with no way to escape. These situations can include public transit, shopping centers, crowds and queues, or simply being outside their home on their own.”
After hitting post I realized the title is a bit… not fully accurate. I do go outside, but stay on the property. I also leave the property for absolutely essential things (medical stuff specifically). As for the trash, I live with my husband (whom I met online in 2021 post-recluse actually), his son & my parents. There’s enough people to help out, hahaha.
That’s nice you have people who help! I had indeed assumed you couldn’t go to medical appointments, like someone I know, but I’m relieved you can :)
