To give some backstory, for almost a year now I’ve been dealing with intense social anxiety that turned into severe agoraphobia in April. I left my service industry job and starting working at a work from home call center job that I thought would help, but it completely ruined my mental health. A few months ago, my boyfriend spoke with his parents on my behalf about my agoraphobia (I had canceled many dinners with them due to it), and they were definitely put off at first, which lead me feeling very insecure and ashamed, despite it being something that I wasn’t able to help. A few days ago, I made the decision to quit my call center job with no back up job, which was a poor decision on my half but in that moment I was only thinking of how it affected my mental health, to the point where I was almost suicidal. My boyfriend ended up telling his parents that he wants money for his birthday this month so he can pay our bills since I quit my job, and they were obviously upset. I’m very upset with myself for making such a selfish decision and I’ve been doing my best to look for another job. I’ve gotten over a lil bit of my agoraphobia so I’ve even been looking for service industry jobs again, but knowing how his parents view me, makes me feel very ashamed. I plan on seeing them in a couple of weeks and I’m extremely nervous, especially since he highly values their opinions. How should I navigate this situation?
