A big welcome to the site SandyJane :D

I am dealing with agoraphobia too hun - have you ever considered the course run by the charity Nopanic, it's a telephone course that runs for a few months and I did help me and make me set myself little goals!

Also we have a chatroom and a quiz on Sat nights if you feel like some company.

Have a look via this link - I think you have to contribute £10 towards the course and then once a week you have an hours phone call. This is mediated by someone from Nopanic who themselves have been through it and have had training in how to help others.

There are usually about 8-10 other people on the course and I can't tell you how nice it was to talk to 'real' people. Understandably everyone was nervous that first week but once the course got going we really got on well and some of us communicated off the course too.

Although it didn't cure me it did really help me get out last summer and set myself little goals and it was smashing to have the support from the rest of the group.

The charity also do some good cd's at very reasonable prices that maybe worth you looking into. :D
