Hey, I'm 20 female too, turning 21 soon. i've been social phobic since abt 17 - before that i thought i was shy and depressed. I don't have panic attacks but i do feel severe sensations and anxiety.
Can i ask what is agoraphobia exactly? is that a fear of more things than just social?
With me, i think a big part of my problem is somethin called body dysmorphic disorder, where i cannot help being obsessed with what people think of a specific part of my appearance. If only i can get that taken care of i think social phobia can be tackled too.
Good luck with trying to find contacts, my family told me the more you retreat and stay away from the world the worst it gets and harder the change. Good on you for making a good start towards the right direction.
I feel your pain. Mine's not as severe. I go out occasionally but from someone who gets out there on the odd occasion- let me tell you- you're not missing much Mostly a bunch of arseholes out there anyway I get outside to do stuff on my own which is easier- solo sports like surfing are good cause no one bothers me. Or going to a quiet book store.
