Probably should check in here...
Yes, among other things, I have agoraphobia. I can handle a small group of people, or people scattered about in a large space, but crowds are pretty much out of the question. Medical waiting rooms are problematic; every once in a while I just get up and hide in a stairwell.
No one has diagnosed me with panic attacks, but I experience two different types of "episode" which so far remain unidentified - they may fall into the gray area between psychology and neurology. Yes, Klonopin is among my meds.
It has been over a decade since I've driven. The sensation of relative motion (rapidly passing cars and objects) and sensory overload are far too paralyzing/triggering.
I regret any of us has to deal with this...thing.
