Hi,

It sound like anxiety to me, the problem is that once you have experienced panic/anxiety, you get the fear that it will come again...you also may feel more vulnerable when out as ther is 'no escape' and you are out of your comfort zone. This happens to me most of the time I'm out...very unpleasant. You seem to be doing all the right things...meds/therapy...it takes time, I don't have the answers, but I too am on meds and almost half way through my 12 week therapy programme. It's helping with the anx/panic but I am still having problems going out with the agoraphobia. Try not to 'avoid' doing things, remember, the anxiety will pass the longer you can manage to stay in any situation when you feel like this. Good luck.
