I also have agoraphobia, although not as severe as yours. I'm 22 and was completely housebound for about 3 years until November last year. I'm not sure what happened, but I decided I wanted to seek therapy, so I went to my GP and was lucky to be referred to a counselor of sorts. I've been leaving the house a few times a week. It's still pretty hard for me to go out alone, but I'm lucky to have support from my mom (who also has anxiety).
I'm not really sure why I decided to post this since I'm usually very uncomfortable talking about it. I guess I just wanted to say I hope you get better and enjoy life more (not to say you can't find joy at home).
