Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,
From what you have mentioned, you seem to have symptoms of Agoraphobia. Agoraphobia can be managed with the help of medications and and behavior therapy.

I would suggest you to consult a psychiatrist. You might be started on one of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like sertraline or paroxetine. You can also chose therapy like cognitive behavior therapy, if someone trained in it is available in your area.

Relaxation training in form of progressive muscular relaxation will also help you.

Hope this information was useful.
Best wishes.
