Agoraphobia ,Anxiety disorder and social phobia

I have suffered from these things for many years now. I feel my life has been severely limited by them. I have had therapy in the past for my anxiety but it never worked. I am currently on medication that has stopped working for me. I have tried alot of different medications over the years. I currently dont have much of a life and havent been outside for months. The last time i went out was June or July i believe.
The only person i see everyday is my partner who works fulltime to support us. Im lucky hes so understanding but i feel like a burden most of the time. He does everything that has to do with outside of the house.
I guess ive been quite bad for the last 6-7 years. Before that i was functioning better and coping ok.
I think i just got too depressed and let myself get worse. Battling my anxiety got so difficult i just stopped doing everything that scared me.
Is there anyone else out there suffering with the same things?

Talk to your doctor. Maybe a change in meds is needed or a different kind of therapy. Ask your husband to help you challenge yourself. I've had issues in the past that I know I'd never have done anything about if he hadn't pushed me. You can start small, if it's too hard to go to the shops, walk round the block. If that's too hard, coffee in the garden. Things get easier the more you do them but the most important thing is to try. Praying for you hun, look after yourself xxx
