I’ll tell you a little secret while gathering flowers. Well, it’s not so little, it’s is a pretty big secret about me that only a handful of people know about. I don’t talk about it often but when I do, I usually tell people that I trust to not judge me. Having lived with Agoraphobia for several years now. I panic in situations that have a lot of crowds, even inworld crowds can be sometimes hard to deal with and trigger a panic. I also panic on bridges, any place with heights, and I am wary of closed in places.
What is Agoraphobia?
Agoraphobia is not like you see in the movies where people can’t leave their houses at all. It is much deeper than that. This is a type of anxiety that causes someone to fear and avoid places or situations that might cause a panic attack and make one feel trapped, helpless, or embarrassed. The true fear isn’t the place you’re going to or the situations you’re in, but the result. I always think about whether I’ll have a panic attack in any situation like going to Jury Duty or being in big crowds.
Lately, though, I’ve been thinking about going out to the store or walking around the block for some exercise. Seeing what I can do and how far I can push past this fear of panicking in public. Inworld isn’t so bad. I can go to parks, putter around in my little garden, explore places (even those with big crowds), and more. I can go afk if I feel overwhelmed and come back when I’m feeling good again.
What I’m Wearing
So, today, I bring you this pretty summery pic gathering flowers (well I forgot to put some out but whatever, they’re off screen and that’s my story!) in my little garden wearing an sweatshirt from Neve by Cold Logic available now at Uber and shorts from Dead Dollz. Hair from Wasabi that is also available at Uber! As always, see my full credits list below and Flickr for a full resolution version! See you next time, Adventurites! ~LA

Your love of nature overcomes quite a lot, my friend, well done 🙂
I’m glad you like this. I love flowers so much. I can’t really have them in RL because of my asthma, but every so often my mom will bring home a pot of roses or a pretty flowery bush for the yard that I can see from my window. It really does help. ♥
