Last year and the beginning of this year, I had such intense phobic attacks of agoraphobia that I sequestered myself in my husband's and my one room garage apartment for 8 months. I would try to leave home about once a week, trying so hard to do simple things like grocery shopping or even just pumping gas and would end up not being able to "simply" get out of our van from the paralyzing fear of being in public.
That wasn't the first time I became a hermit from the phobias and anxieties that plague me. The first few months we were married we lived in a one room/one bathroom apartment in a local boarding house. I would hide in the bathtub every time the terror became to much to handle, and there was a three month period where I didn't leave the boarding house.
