I feel lost and alone. I've had severe anxiety ever since I was a kid that has since esclalated into full blown agoraphobia. I can't leave my home. When I try, I panic. I'm afraid all the time. I feel like a failure... I dropped out of high school because of my agoraphobia and haven't finished college. I can't hold down a job. I don't have any hope left. I see these people out in the world with agency and independence and it's a mystery to me... My therapist says start small. Make friends. I don't currently have any, and I'd like to. I think I could be a good friend. I'm honest and thoughtful and I can be enthusiastic about just about anything. My therapist suggested reaching out on support groups, so this is me. Reaching out. Anybody out there?
