Can you call a friend, relative, anyone (even from your old life) to come help you get out of the house and to the doctor's? Call a cab to come take you and bring you home? You need some real live people in your life, you've gone from out of control to stuck in your own head/house! Neither one of those is "correct"/healthy and meds aren't necessarily going to help. Get to the doctor's and get a therapist and figure out how to start some healthy interaction with other people.
Living in your own head, alone, we can talk ourselves into any darn thing we imagine because we have no other people to bounce things off of and interact with to get feedback. Don't talk yourself into agoraphobia!

Thanks for your input. You are right about me having no support system: I had to get away from everyone I know because we were a tigh group of drug addicts. I have no other friends that aren't involved with drugs. My family is of absolutely no help, according to them I do not even have bipolar ocd because they do not believe in mental illness. Also, I am not very close to anyone in my family. With not leaving the house, I do not have money to jump in a cab and go meet random people... I wouldn't trust myself as of yet either. I'd say you are also right about living in my head, I can't stop coming up with these crazy ideas or real ones either. Ugh, just so damn frustrating.
