I can’t leave the house by myself either I need to be accompanied by someone and I will go but I can stay in my house by myself …agoraphobic ?

I think you wouldn’t even be able to go with someone if you were. Social anxiety maybe? But I know what you mean. Things are always easier when you’re with someone.

I have agoraphobia. Sounds like you may need to get help. It gets better.

My fears keep me home. But I’ll go to my dr appointments with someone.

Not necessarily agoraphobic. Like @everhopeful said, it could be social anxiety. Anything exactly preventing you from leaving the house @Qirat ?

Have you done exposure therapy? Have you gone by yourself to see what’s it’s like?

Benzodiazepines are good for agoraphobia if indeed you truly have it.

What bothers me is that if there’s too much noise that i cant filter out. (Cars driving by, planes flying, cars honking, doors slamming, dogs barking etc)

I go out here and there but I go back home if it’s too much for me.

What helps me is benzos and nicotine.

Hope this helps.

I find that the atmosphere outside feels somewhat different ever since I got this condition.

I force myself to go for walks. I was developing agoraphobia aswell. Thinking that people are stalking me feels the worst. The meds helped alot though, it’s not as oppressive anymore when i leave the house.
