I have some agoraphobia, anxiety, and avoidant personality disorder. Very difficult finding guys and can be pretty depressing, but I've been teaching myself to go out a bit each day and try at least… not sure I'm date material yet but working on it
Hey there. I also have agoraphobia, which is rare enough, but I have Avoidant Personality Disorder, too. I'm glad you are working on going outside. You're in therapy, right? Personality disorders are SOOO hard to overcome.
I think that my AVPD caused my agoraphobia. My fear of being ridiculed or mocked became so strong, I stopped going to places where that might happen. Now, that is not a professional diagnosis. Just a personal belief.
Anyway, I wish you success in your efforts to overcome this (to me) debilitating disorder.
