Agoraphobia

This phobia isn’t based on irrational fear, it’s based in the intense fear of being judged by other, having a panic attack of displaying other symptoms of anxiety, and the fear of being trapped with other people. This mental disorder really sucks because I essentially can’t go places without people I trust—I even have a hard time walking down school halls by myself. This isn’t a traditional phobia, as it falls under Panic Disorders, which are characterized by panic attacks. I have medications for both my generalized anxiety and for fast-acting relief from sudden anxiety symptoms, so it’s manageable, but it still disrupts so many things in my life. I can’t even go outside in my front yard without being scared :/
