I've had this problem for probably ten years or more..although I had no idea what it was called until today.It seems like i'm too late though as this board seems kinda slow.Anyway hopefully someone will respond.So, like i was saying, I've had this problem for a long time.I went to stomach doctors at first then to therapy where I was diagnosed with social anxiety,but the bathroom is my real problem.

Over the past ten years or more I have completely isolated myself to the point where I have no friends and no relationship.I did have these things ,but people got fed up with my inability to go anyplace spur of the moment.I usually tell people I have agoraphobia.I managed to find a girlfriend 3 years ago(i met her at a relatives house 30 seconds walk from my house)she just broke up with me last week and because I have gotten to the point of not leaving the house at all,I don't think i'll ever find anybody again.

I take medicine to ease my fears/panic and try to prepare before I leave the house(which is almost never)so I won't work myself up and make myself sick,but since I don't have any friends left and my girlfriend left me I really don't even have the option to leave.I never learned how to drive and I'm on disability for depression and anxiety.I'm really depressed and wonder how other people here find friends and relationships.Or are you like me and sitting alone in your house.
