I may be getting a support worker to help with my agoraphobia and I wanted to know if anyone has found it helpful, I would like to know people’s experiences.

I made a post the other day. I feel like things are getting worse, like when my partner is in the toilet and the door is shut I struggle I have to be listening out. I hate this ! I wish I didnt have to need him at all times to feel safe… I’m waiting on getting therapy as there is a whole process an im in the middle of it. But does anyone else feel like this? Or have a similar experience?

For me I cannot leave the house on my own, I need someone that I feel safe with to be with me otherwise I feel like something bad is going to happen to me, I genuinely believe if I’m on my own I feel like I’m gonna get kidnapped, murdered, assaulted and etc and then when these thoughts start racing in my head I then think how am I gonna cope, I don’t think I will, how will I get out of the situation, and due to this racing I usually stay with someone I feel safe with or I stay home and avoid the situation all together. But I’ve started to feel unsafe on my own in my house now meaning I need my partner with me at all times, this is getting debilitating and I rlly want my independence back, is it worth talking to my psychologist about? Do you think this is agoraphobia? And what are your experiences with it ?
