[ I am pretty much housebound also due to agoraphobia and depression/anxiety. Been about 5 years. I only go out to see psych and occasionally quick shopping on the long trip home. my bf drives, I am afraid to do that now too. spend most of my day in my room, in bed. I get my pets fed, do laundry, do the most minimal housework I can. I also have really slacked on showering daily and when I do, washing my hair is down to like once a week. I'm on disability and feel so much guilt that I am not productive anymore and cant fix this. I have great fear of leaving the end of my driveway or even being outside if a neighbor is out that can see me. other than what my mind tells me, I'm otherwise healthy. so wish I could leave home with ease again. thank you so much for your post. its so nice to hear from someone I can relate too. best wishes. lola
