After my small victory yesterday, I thought I'd push myself. I did and I shouldn't have. I actually left the house and hung out with a couple friends and my brother. The longer I was with everyone, the more I hallucinated and the worse my anxiety had gotten. By the time I got home, I barely made it through the door before I started breaking down. I put on a movie and went to bed. Woke up several times due to panic attacks and flashbacks and nightmares. My fiance came home and told me he might be getting fired. And now, I feel so damn drained. I feel like I crashed into a wall going eighty, even though I didn't actually do anything that should cause strain or stress on me. I'm back to being lost and down. I don't even want to leave my room right now and I'm back to square one. The SI and self-harm thoughts are bad, again, too.

Why do I keep fighting? Why do I keep thinking that I can ever function like an average person?

Was going out the source of your distress?

It's such a tightrope to try to walk ...

Things can get better though (I'm hoping anyway )

Yeah. I can't even leave my house for more than 20min without freaking out. Hell, I was starting to freak out before I stepped out the door.

I understand. I had agoraphobia for a long time and couldn't go out without shaking and crying. You're not alone. I hope you start feeling better soon.
