Hi, you really really need to see a doctor so you can get diagnosed and put on something to help you. Do you have family or friends that can help you get there?

For your life to be good you have to force yourself, maybe call a mental health clinic, explain to them what your going thru. I would hate to see you become fully agoraphobic. I take it you had a bad panic attack outside your home? Where and what happened?

Okay, please call a mental health center and talk to them, they are more qualified to give you advice on how to get to them or perhaps they can come to you.

I know today during my first therapy session my therapist said to me "I see here you suffer from agoraphobia", my eyes widened, they I got this puzzled look on my face and replied "What does that even mean?", I really didn't realize there was a name for it, I called it being a recluse, so I too suffer from it.

It can get better with help from the right doctor, mine did, but I am going through a little spiral right now!

What state do you live in if you don't mind me asking, I live in Florida and we have a pretty stank system, I believe Mosquitoes are treated better than humans, but thankfully I found some help, but it can be very hard.

My state does to, but what I did find, did help.

Oh that is a long time, I know in our State if you are having a "crisis" situation that can quicken the process, but that may be more for children, not sure.

they do but as of right now i do not have thoughts of suicide or harming others or a danger to my self which is a good thing thats a crisis in my area

While you are waiting for an appointment with the mental health center you could see a regular family doctor and they might get you on something for now for your anxiety.
