Hi daycruncher, forgive me – I found myself jumping through your posts….because I have ADHD! Koishi, if you can find any interest at all that engages  you – anything! this will sow a seed of objective interest that you can build upon. I know it is hard, but it is though an interest that the world opens up. If you like swimming – take a short course in teaching children to swim, and see where this takes you. If you like cooking and eating…take a first level course in catering and see where this takes you….and so on. First steps really matter, and they must connect to something within yourself. Stuff happens when you do something that you genuinely like and enjoy.

PS – I have also experienced agarophobia, and my therapist helped me to understand that it is not a fear of open spaces, but a fear of leaving home. Massive. CBT has helped a lot, and I am past this now, but very careful and mindful on a weekly basis. Try not to shrink your life any further without CBT help.
