The anxiety disorder that you're experiencing is caused by too much worry, stress and overwork over a long period of time.
A point is reached when our nervous system reacts to all this by becoming over sensitive. In this state it causes panic attacks, high anxiety and agoraphobia such as you are experiencing.
Fear about leaving your home is a misguided way that your mind tries to protect you. It knows you're anxious and presumes you are being threatened - so seeks to keep you within the 'safety' of your home. Obviously it's help you can do without in this day and age.
Ttittit, there is no reason why you should put up with this and become a prisoner in your own home.
First, try and neutralise the problems that have caused you so much worry that you have developed anxiety disorder. Be ruthless if necessary, the tranquility of your mind is at stake here.
If you haven't already spoken to your doctor it's time you did. If you find your anxiety and panic attacks are overwhelming it's only right to consider a course of meds which will offer you respite. But meds can't offer you recovery, only temporary relief during which time you can explore the two roads to recovery. These are talking cures with a good therapist and a self help method explained in books which have helped thousands to recover.
The best of these advocate that you stop fighting your symptoms for the time being as fighting only floods your system with more stress hormones. Instead they will help you to accept the bad feelings for the moment and learn to co-exist with them calmly and without constantly flooding your nerves with stress and fear hormones.
Panic attacks aren't nice but they can't kill or maim you. If you accept them calmly and attach less importance to them then they will die of neglect.
Say to yourself: "Damn you agoraphobia, I've had enough of you and today I'm going out. Why not? I know anxiety can't kill me and won't cause me to collapse, you're nothing but a paper tiger.
"So what if I feel anxious and my legs feel like jelly, who cares? Jelly legs will still take me out to the local park/supermarket and carry me back!
"So I'm going out tomorrow whether you like it or not. AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME!!"
Why not do that, Ttittit, what have you got to lose? What if you do have a panic attack while out, what does it matter?Just hold your head up and keep walking in the certain knowledge that EVERY STEP YOU TAKE IS ONE STEP TOWARDS BANISHING YOUR ANXIETY AND AGORAPHOBIA.
