Rosie, hi this is Chel from the Teen Site.
I am writing to thank you for your courage. It took real courage to write about how you feel. And, I admire your post and thank you for it.
I struggle every day with mental health issues, one of them being the fear of leaving the house at times. And, I grew up with an agoraphobic mother who I loved and took care of for many years.
Venting here is safe and totally fine. Although we all may be from states and even countries far from one another, and we might not always know the exact answer or comments to share, I have found this forum and community to be a wonderful place to vent and communicate with others about the best and worst of my days.
Thank you again for being so very brave.
Chel
