I had agoraphobia for many years. I would go out only for my pdoc appointments but nothing else. You're getting out to appointments and walking your pets. That's great. Successfully going to the grocery store is a big deal. Give yourself a pat on the back. I don't feel that I can give good advice because I don't know how I resolved it. It started really small. I had medication that I needed ready to be picked up at the pharmacy and no one to pick it up for me so I went (less than a mile). It just started slowly getting better until it was resolved. I'm grateful for that.

Having said that, I am a homebody and would rather be home than anywhere else except maybe floating at the pool. There are a few things I do to get out of the house although I'm not consistent. I go to things like water aerobics, yoga, bible study, therapy, salon & spa, run errands, meet friends and movie day Tuesdays (when the movies are $5 and I watch 2-4 in a row). Maybe you could find something that interests you and slowly move towards doing that.

When I was first getting over agoraphobia, someone usually went with me to places and that helped a great deal. Good luck and best wishes in getting this resolved. I know it's hard. Sending big hugs.
