I barely leave my room, let alone my house. Everytime I go out, all of my symptoms exacerbate by x10. I will feel paranoid, anxious, extremely depressed, and feeling that there is danger and threats left and right, I get mood swings because when I feel threatened by the people around me, like they are going to do something to me, I feel I have to defend myself and I feel so much aggression, but I know better than to act on it. My thoughts race, and I get intrusive, obsessive thoughts that follow me all the way home. When I get home I feel like I am going to snap, i feel like self harming, or drinking. I wonder it is PTSD or agoraphobia or whatever. I am in therapy and see a psychiatrist but I am still very deep in this currently.

Agoraphobia is horrible . I have it too. The part about it that gives me the most anxiety is the people . I think if I lived on a desserted island I could cope with being outside because there is nobody there .
I wish I could give you some advice to overcome this but I'm struggling with it too .

That's exactly it, the other people. I love nothing more than to be in nature with no one else around.

Feeling the same way, you're definitely not alone. As my husband says, "I hate people" lol. I want him to build me a small sound proof room just big enough for a big comfy chair with lots of pillows and blankets. I want to go in there and just be alone with absolute silence. That would be heaven.

My fear of going out of the house has gotten worse and worse. I also fear when my husband leaves the house too, I don't want to be alone without him in the house. He doesn't have to be in the same room as me or anything, just in the house or I don't feel safe.

Do you live alone? I'm wondering if you feel safe in your house alone or with someone?
