What do I do?

2020 has been the worst year yet for my mental health. I started off the year with some health issues which triggered a phobia of mine to get much much worse. My anxiety became intolerable although it got a bit better when Quarantine started as I got to stay home in my comfort zone without having to face my fear. Now that things are slowly getting back to normal people are expecting me to leave my house which I cannot do without getting a panic attack. I should probably tell my parents but I just can't get myself to... Besides, today I'm expected to properly leave my house for the first time and I don't know what's gonna happen when I do.

Talk to your parents!! Ask them to listen and try to comprehend things from your perspective. Stay strong, you know your limits! That said, I would make the commitment to working with a therapist to address your fears. They will guide you along, at your pace. Side note; 2020 ABSOLUTELY sucks!!
