New Yorker recovering from agoraphobia, one day at a time 🙏🏽
Year 2
I'm also currently unemployed and have been since summer 2023. It's been a rough journey but I'm doing everything I can to have this year be better than the last 5+. I truly feel this is a new beginning for me. PS I've been posting on TikTok since 2023.

All of this while dealing with the drama outside of my life, like the state of the US right now. Trying to maintain my sanity and stability despite the "noise".
Praying for better days 🩷

One of the most important lessons I've learned over the past few years with agoraphobia is to honor my body's messages. Use the stillness of winter to reconnect with yourself.

I want to share that between 2021-2023 I was terrified to be home alone. Through that challenge I learned to push myself to establish a greater sense of community, in order to feel safe with other people. From this, "Agoraphobia In The City" was born. You're not alone.

My skin gets so dry in the winter and adding body oil to my routine has helped keep the ash away! Btw the scented moisturizer 🤌🏽 chef's kiss! This helps so much when layering scents, to make it last longer.

This month has been slow and steady, helping me catch my breath a bit. I haven't done as much exposure therapy as I'd like but I know I'll pick it up again soon enough. Hopefully I can accomplish my January goals this week. #agoraphobia

On the walk back home I felt proud of myself and the anxiety went down to a 1. I went with my grounding tools to help me feel safe--point is to challenge those moments wanting to keep me stuck.
The treats were delicious! #agoraphobia #anxiety

Every time I have a panic attack it's like reopening an old wound. Thankfully this one was small but it still hurt, and I didn't have my usual tools with me. I breathed through it and called a friend for support as I walked back home. Even this is progress though, and I continue to move forward 🙏🏽

I love my library and I love reading! I'm trying to reduce screen time so getting the hard copies helps me do that and get back to reading (been streaming a bit much these days). I started doing library exposure late 2023 and I'm so glad I'm able to go, and hang out!

Taking things day by day, step by step. Reminding myself I've been through worse and tough times eventually pass. On the plus side I've been doing really good about not spending unnecessarily this month. Been sticking to my budget.
How are you holding up?

Happy New Year! I'm riding this wave of new energy and enthusiasm to get me through even more adventures this year. However I need a job--it's a must and my no.1 focus. Having a steady income will help me feel even more stable, and supported. What are some of your goals for this month?

I am so thankful for the progress I made this year with my agoraphobia recovery. "Slow and Steady" was the theme 🥳

As 2024 comes to a close I am putting together my recap and I love looking back at the journey. I'm so proud of what I've done this year and how far I've come. Every step counts! #agoraphobia #recovery #mentalhealth #anxiety #nyc

I was super anxious about the interview and I even considered cancelling. I'm so happy I showed up. I did great but I realized afterwards that it's not the kind of job I want.

I have about 3 months left in my budget. If I don't get this job I'll just try to get something that pays less, just to help me out. Praying I get hired next month! And I can't wait for this interview to be over!

I went early afternoon thinking it would be empty but NOPE! I bought a few little trinkets for a secret Santa and I'm glad I was able to get it done but WOW 😵‍💫 It was crowded, humid, and tense. Never again! #addtoblacksky #agoraphobia #aitc #anxiety #nyc
