True Life: I'm Agoraphobic

Do you suffer from agoraphobia? Is it extremely difficult or even impossible for you to leave your house or go to places that aren't completely familiar to you? Does even the thought of going outside of your home or into a new space trigger a panic attack? Do your friends and family know about your condition or do you keep it a secret? Are you becoming increasingly reclusive and don't know how to stop the downward spiral? Or has this disorder come to define you and you feel like you can't take it anymore? Are you willing to make a drastic change in order to overcome your fears?  If you're agoraphobic and it's having a huge impact on your life, MTV wants to hear your story.
