Porter Robinson’s Wife Rika Mikuriya Updates Fans on Agoraphobia Recovery

Porter Robinson’s wife Rika Mikuriya opened up about her progress on her agoraphobia recovery and how she dealt with it.

Since revealing her struggle with agoraphobia a few months ago, Porter Robinson’s wife Rika Mikuriya provided the latest update on her journey toward recovery in a recent Instagram Q&A. In a story post, she revealed that the path to recovery is “going well” despite contending with ongoing effects. It is encouraging to hear that she is making positive strides although she continues to face challenges where she “still struggles with anticipatory anxiety.”

She further cited an example where she would “start to feel the anxiety and those thoughts come in the moments like before I have to go anywhere outside of my comfort zone or anywhere I’ve had a really bad panic attach at. In those moments, I feel very very tempted to make an excuse to not go. it happens quite a bit still.”

Her openness about her experiences and the strategies she used to cope with the anxiety is inspiring and relatable for others who might be going through similar situations. Explaining that it is important to acknowledge emotions as they arise and not suppress them, she explained that she would “have the panic attack if it comes but just allow the feelings to come.” This perspective aligns with the idea of mindfulness and emotional processing, where acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings without judgment can be an essential step in healing

She further added, “It feels like the hardest thing in the world but it is ALL how you respond to the anxiety, knowing that is powerful. When I know I have a high chance of having a panic attack, I get excited in a way because I know it is another chance for me to get better.”

Rika Mikuriya’s candid post is an important reminder for anyone dealing with mental health challenges to understand that recovery can be a complex process with ups and downs. Sharing these experiences can help raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues.
