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?

I'm on the meds at the moment and there not working either . There after wearing away from years being on them .
I think everyone has social anxieties, your not alone with that at all .
I lost 3 stone in 6 months from anxieties at one stage .
I tried psychologists , shrinks , and basically there only a 50 minute talk for not being seen for 6 weeks again at a time . Your left with yourself again for the remainder of the time .
Will i tell you what helped me and it's a book for not just Alcoholics but for everyone. It's the big book for Alcoholics Anonymous and if you don't have a problem with Alcohol, replace it with what ever difficulties you have "we say people "
Like your powerless over people and your life is unmanageable "
In Alcoholics Anonymous they say were powerless over Alcohol and our lives have become unmanageable "
So replace it with what ever your powerless over , ans then work a 12 step program to what your powerless over and i promise you and i mean i promise you , your whole life will change around for the good.
All that depression will disappear, all the anxieties will lesson, all you have to do is apply it to what your powerless over , cause it looks like you be in control of your life isn't working for you .
The same as me until i applied that 12 step program into my life and the Big Book of Alcoholic Anonymous.
That book is worked through ever addiction you can think of .
Even the book that Melody Beattie brought out "Co Dependant No More "
That book is based on the Alcoholic Anonymous Big Book .
Thats where she got her ideas from and she's after helping millions including myself .
I hope i can get through to you .
That depression will disappear and the mental chatter in the mind will lesson
