As someone who has struggled with agoraphobia, I cannot tell you how weird it is to live in a world where leaving the house is accepted as dangerous. Part of me is like I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU THIS FOR YEARS. But I'm used to thinking of Stay Home Or Die as a lie my brain tells me https://twitter.com/lpbradley/status/1246836027513241601
So on the one hand, I feel perfectly at ease not leaving my home. I am THRIVING. On the other hand I feel gross that this whole thing that upsets everyone else makes me feel safe.
And also I know that all this is undoing the years of work I've done in learning to push past that urge to never leave my house. When this is over I'm going to be back at square one (square one is my house, which i will not be able to leave unmedicated and uncrying)
