I have quite a bit of difficulty leaving the house, I live in the middle of a busy city, so there's always traffic and people. I've had a few panic attacks set on because of what felt like the amount of traffic on the road (I'm just walking), something to do with the busy ness of it all stresses me out thinking about going out into it and makes me uncomfortable on varying levels depending on how I'm doing when I'm out.

Is this a form of agoraphobia?

Agoraphobes don't even open the door..this is just anxiety/fear/tad bit of social anxiety....defeatable.

OK thanks E just new to all this stuff and trying to understand what activates parts in me. I will definitely not allow myself to think I have agoraphobia, finding the right balance between understanding and not giving myself excuses of 'what I think I have' ;)
