I first try to identify what is causing me to feel this way. Is it a mental or physical reason? Knowing that, I try to find a solution to the identified issue. If it's a mental reason, I like first calm myself down and take some alone time to figure it out. If necessary, I'll talk to a friend about how I'm feeling and try to solve it out that way. If it's a physical reason, I will try to find remedies to the issue and depending on the severity, I may also contact my doctor in order to help me identify and resolve the issue.

I feel sorry for you, that must be difficult and frustrating :( do you know what it is that makes you feel sick when you leave the house? Did Something happen that makes you feel anxious? Or are you afraid something might happen? I think it’s really good that you try to talk about it via 7cups! I’m curious about what makes you feel sick and I’m sure we can talk about it. Have you had this before? And did you talk about it with somebody before? And sorry for this amount of questions but is there any place outside the house you need to go to which makes you feel more sick then another?

try to gradually get accustomed to leaving your house. Ex. go out for 5 min one day, then 10, then 20. Or if the issue is distance, start with going on your porch and slowly get used to going further and to new places. If you still feel sick after a while, consider maybe talking to a doctor as it could be an issue they can help with. If it makes it easier, maybe go with someone or with your dog if you have one (you could always apply to get a support dog if you need one). Remember you'll probably still have bad days so don't be too hard on yourself when that happens, you're getting better, little by little :)

You can start with some little steps.
Firstly, you can try to identify any underlying triggers for this feeling. What exactly is it about going outside of your house that makes you feel this way?
Then, you can start with just sitting right before your doorway with the door open, so you can see outside. When this becomes more comfortable, you can take a step outside, and just sit there for a minute. Slowly, you can start to spend a little more time each day just outside your house, until it feels more comfortable. After some time, you can try walking around your house, then walking around your block, and then walking to a park.
Challenges like this can take lots of time and effort to overcome, but they are surmountable if you allow yourself the time and space to walk through it gently and at your own pace

Sounds like social anxiety. Try taking a few deep breaths and have a list of things you have to do and a plan how to avoid stressful situations. Also try talking to someone and maybe ask for professional help. Maybe going on meds could help you deal with such intensive anxiety. I would suggest for start to try and go trough everything that needs to get done before going out so you know what's waiting for you. Also maybe try to act out situations that feels scary beforehand so you will be more prepared when they actually happen and good luck.

Try identifying the exact reason that leaving the house triggers this response. Does it have to do with feeling unsafe? Is it related to a fear of getting sick? Did something happen once before when you left your home? Are there other stressors in your life that are causing these feelings? Once you identify what the issue is, try writing it down in a diary or journal. Identifying the trigger can help you put into perspective whether or not this is something that is truly a threat to you. If you are willing, maybe try talking to a trusted friend or loved one about it. From there, try to do some deep breathing exercises and understand that feeling sick is just a feeling. Nothing bad is truly happening, and you have the power to work through anything.

You may have a phobia about leaving the house. Why do you think that you don't feel well when you leave and go outside? Perhaps there is a fear that you have which you can identify.
I think that it might help if you tell someone you can trust. Also, it is possible you have symptoms of an illness that needs to be treated. It is important that you talk to someone and get some help. If you can identify a reason for a phobia, that might be a place to start. If that doesn't work, consider other possibilities and see your doctor. Take care.

I understand how you feel. I used to get sick whenever I step out of my home. Thinking I look too overweight, ugly. And I would cry and get panic attacks. I overcome this kinda of panic by doing some simple exercises from time to time. Such as breathing exercise, stretching, and working out. Doing theses exercises not only helps me to relax and feel a lot more confident💪ðŸ».
During my shower, I’ll think of which body parts do I love and I’m grateful for🤗.
Everytime u go out of your home, look in the mirror and tell yourself, be confident! You are beautiful! ( cause u r )
I hope sharing my experience helps 🥰🥰

It sounds like you makly be experiencing some anxiety over leaving the house. Talk to someone about what you are experiencing and what is making you feel this way, they may not be able to provide advice but they will be able to support you in how you decide you want to deal with it and be there to help you do that. Also understand that as scary as it is many people have felt this way and do feel this way, I used to struggle with this too. It does get better though, you may need to talk about it or go to a doctor for some extra support but it will get better

I think the first step to coming up with a solution is identifying why you feel extremely sick. Could it be anxiety? When figuring out your feelings, it can seem more manageable to address it and take an action. Also notice that it is specifically when you leave your house. This means you think of your home as a sort of safety net or refuge. You should begin to think about why you feel so strongly against leaving your home. There could be a past experience that could be holding you back. By understanding and evaluating the situation you may realize what you could do in order to release this emotion.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
