I feel extremely sick whenever I leave my house, what can I do?

I too had developed agoraphobia so I can well relate to this. It was after I returned home from another city leaving my internship. Even the thought of leaving my house would make me feel nauseous. So I stopped going out but that was only worsening things because then there were so many things I wanted to do but couldn't because this phobia was a huge hurdle. At that point of time, I was also struggling with social anxiety. And I'm also the person who doesn't want anything to restrain me. And the best way to overcome fear is to face it. Yes, I know it seems trite but this is fact. So I decided to face it. I was scared I'd feel sick, might even throw up but for how long? Twice or thrice or maybe more? Well, I had to go beyond my comfort zone to do things I wanted to do, so I started to go out. And I always kept medicines with me. Sometimes I'd even get anxiety attacks which were very difficult for me and also quite embarrassing. You don't wanna be seen weak and trembling and sweating and short of breath when outside. But I realized it's okay. I don't need to worry about what others might think because this life is not about them, it's about me and becoming a better me. And those who can't understand cannot help me become a better me so why to even think about them in the first place? I realized it's not necessary to take a huge leap. Just deciding to face your fear is a huge leap in itself. Then all you need to do is take tiny steps. A 5-minute walk daily or on alternate days would be fine. If you have a pet, great! Take him/her along. When you feel at ease when you feel that you can increase the duration of your walk, increase it by 5 again. So a 10-minute walk daily. By starting with 5 minutes, you can convince yourself that if you feel unwell, you are not far away from home. Or instead of walking you can have a family member or friend drive you to some nearby place and breathe the open air. Take a huge leap and you might fall. But consistent small steps don't only lead you to where you wanna be but also builds confidence. If I can overcome it, you can too. I know you will. You got this. You are braver than you think!

Take a slow deep breath. Think of three things that make you happy. Let out that breath. Take another slow, deep breath. Think of three good things that could happen to you, or that you will do today. Let it out. Tell yourself today will be a good day, and smile.

Take baby steps. Go somewhere very close by and PRAISE yourself for the smallest accomplishments. If you make it to the car that's awesome. If you drive 500 feet, even better! If you drive 5 minutes to the grocery store, throw a party! Blow it out of proportion and give yourself credit for what might seem like a small accomplishment. It's truly a HUGE accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself for even trying!

Take deep breaths. I have agoraphobia too and I panic whether I leave the house. Think about something/someone that makes you happy. Take slow, small steps and keep your head held high. :)

When you wake up, don't think about the things that you don't want to do or don't like. Think about the things you're going to do today! Think about something fun to do, something you can accomplish! If you love climbing, set a goal for climbing! If you couldn't hit your goal, don't let yourself down! Get right back at it, or take a break, and motivate yourself to completing that goal the next time you try! Moral of the story; Don't give up! As an example: I love drawing, so whenever I think of something new to draw, I jump right at the idea, and set a goal for myself to make it look awesome. Although I might hit some bumps, although I might doubt myself at times, I'll think to myself that nothing can stop me from completing my goal, if I don't stop trying. So don't stop trying, get back up, and accomplish your goal! When you accomplish that goal, you're going to feel like you're on the top of the world, and nothing beats that. That way, when you leave your house, you know that you are going to work towards something amazing. YOU are accomplishing that goal, YOU are accomplishing it, nobody else, and regardless of what might get in your way. This will help you build up confidence, and brush away the bad thoughts and feelings. If you ever feel like you can't get back up, when you feel down, and when you feel like trying again won't help, talk to a listener! We'll grab you by the arm and help you lead yourself to the goal that you want to reach.

If you can't think of a reason why you're feeling sick then concentrate on that. Know that you are getting the sick feeling over nothing and hopefully that will calm you down a bit. Otherwise if that doesn't work, try taking something with you to occupy your mind, like music from your phone or and new app to play around with. It doesn't have to be something electronic, even a book or something similar will hopefully occupy you enough to lessen the sickness.

There are two things involved here. It's either you're meant to go out more often to reduce the sickness phase or just stay indoors and have friends come over. And your mindset, it's probably you telling yourself that you'll fall sick when you leave your house, and when you actually do, it happens. Your Mindset.

Identifying the cause of your sickness could be helpful. I struggled with severe morning sickness recently and I discovered that staying well hydrated and eating smaller and frequent meals was helpful. Perhaps if your sickness is caused from anxiety seeking out a listener could be helpful and of course it is important to see your GP to get to the bottom of this and ensure you are not suffering from any illnesses that need care and attention. I hope you're feeling better soon.

You can change your perception of the environment. Think positively about the things you do and go to, and look at the beauty of everything. You can also try to have someone with you and try to distract yourself with communication or other activities.

Social anxiety or Agoraphobia can be embarrassing and limit one's happiness. Very often, people think that it is a sudden sickness that pop up randomly. However, this is a misconception and is actually a progressive phobia, that could worsen over time.The fear of leaving the house manifests as a panic attack, rather than an anxiety. Learning more about the cause of the fear will place the sufferer in a better position to overcome it. Hence, try not to avoid this feared situation.You can gain more knowledge about this by joining support groups, calming yourself by visualising a positive outcome in your mind prior to leaving your home and keep invoking pleasurable thoughts. you make try snacking a favourite fruit, snack or drink as you are leaving your house to change anxieties to pleasurable sensations.Tell yourself that any panic attacks lasts only 5 to 35mins so if you can overcome these panic attacks, you would have conquered it😃🌧☁️🌥⛅️🌤🌞Know that these pain will come and go like waves.... And prepare for the occasions when it hits you, you always visualise calming images such as sea, waterfalls or birds chirping. If you keep practising this, the sickness will diminish.
