Hi Soon. Yes, I agree with seeker. It sounds like agoraphobia. This is very scary. I myself went through a long period of time in my early 20's where I wouldnt leave the house for several month because I was afraid. There came a time where I had to make a decision. I could either stay in my home, secluded and unhappy or I could force myself to leave my home. I chose the latter. I couldnt do it all at once. I had to take little baby steps. First I would go and sit on my porch. Then I would walk to the mail box then I would walk down the street. Before I knew it I was able to go out for longer periods of time. Please be easy on yourself but be disiplined.

I know you can do this. Remember, baby steps. Even accomplishing sitting on the porch for 15 minutes is a great first step. Please keep up posted on this.

Good luck.


Hugs,


Jen
