Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety Support Group
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to their home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."
I'm in my early twenties, My mother has always bossy/ controlling from what I could wear( no revealing clothes) to my education, where I could go, what time I needed to be home, who I could date. Though she's largely given up now.
Due to my anxiety, dropping out of university and health issues( heart problem, severe anemia) she lets me stay at home to finish a novel i'm writing/ illustrating which I'm grateful for. Yet she's condescending saying I don't "clean properly" and therefore cant help with housework and thinks I'm beneath her intellectually.
She consider all art/ music and literature lesser to her academia profession to her what shapes and analyzes all society and the be-all-end-all of knowledge.
She is the only one I see/talk to at the moment its depressing and i need to get away any help/suggestions?

#1 I'm sorry to say but it disgusts me that you have many health issues and your mother seems to be a contributor to your mental illness rather than supporting your recovery. She is your MOTHER...
Also, I don't understand how a person can classify any kind of art profession as a lower than an academic profession. With that mentality you could call a Award Winning movie Producer of lower social class than a Public High School Teacher. (Ps 100% respect for teachers
