Definitely feeling that way here! Working on cognitive behavior therapy group called recovery inc. I’ve only been to one meeting, but it seems promising. Maybe there’s a support group in your area. I googled support for agoraphobia and was happy to find something in my area.
What’s cool about it is a lot of healthy ways to change the way we think. There’s actually probably info in this forum somewhere. There’s just so much here, which is awesome!
Sorry about your cousins. That’s really sad and can see why you have that ptsd about driving. I haven’t driven on freeways in many years. I’ve been told many times to face my fears, a little bit each day. I drove one exit on the expressway a few years back, and just didn’t want to work that hard I guess.
I wish you the best! Keep trying and don’t give up. Even the tiny steps are something to feel good about! I’m cheering for you xo
