Agoraphobia
So I think I have agoraphobia. I've always had aniexty because I was badly bullied at school but for the past couple years it has been pretty bad. I used to go outside of my house as much as possible because I love shopping but for the past year I've only left my house 3 times. I don't know I just can't bring myself to go out anymore. Can anyone help me? Please

Thank you for you bravery posting this. I can't even begin to imagine what it feels like to have agoraphobia but I know at times the sanctuary of my home has also felt like my prison.
Have you ever sought professional support? You seem to link agoraphobia to past experiences - bullying which makes sense to me. Sometimes we need help to process traumatic experiences in a different way so they affect us less. In saying that I also appreciate what an insurmountable challenge that might feel like given how difficult leaving the house is for you.
please reach out to listeners here - maybe talking one on one about you past experiences might help?
Good luck
