I've suffered from agoraphobia since I was a preteen. I'm afraid to.leave my house most of the time even afraid of car doors slamming & panic every time my phone rings. I have a job waiting tables which I've been at for 11 years & have an open schedule due to the fact that some days I am physically unable to leave. It's a crippling and helpless life. I hope this isn't your future, nobody deserves to be held captive in side their heads. Much luck to you & I hope this answer has been relative to your question.
