If you are unable to seek therapy, you can try systematic desensitization. This is done in steps: you might begin by imaginingyourself leaving the house to meet up with a friend at a near by coffee shop. Then you might try going outside and having someone meet you in your own yard and visiting briefly. Next you might have a few people visit with you in your own space for a little while longer. Then you might work up to meeting someone at the coffee shop,possibly at a time when it would not be crowded. Anyway,you take steps to gradually get yourself back out in open spaces. Good luck.

Maybe ask a good friend of yours to accompany you on an outing. They may be able to help you overcome some of the aniexty. Good luck to you.

When I was in high school I was really anxious in large crowds. I'd get dizzy and hot and fell like i was in a bad dream where all the voices blended together like a low droaning humm. I hated it and stayed to myself. Today, I'm not real happy about large crowds and I like my personal space as much as the next person.
I hope you can overcome this. But be careful with that Xanax. I took it once last year when I quit smoking. I was in a walking coma for 2 weeks. I called it my happy pill since I'd take one, take a deep breath and feel the anxiety pour off me like a sheet of rain. It makes you really tired too. It's great stuff.

Miners Disease can affect your virtigo. It makes you dizzy and you hear ringing in your ears and can make you feel a little anxious.

The bible says perfect love casteth out all fear...........don't worry about what others think of you. Set your mind on pleasing the king of kings and Lord of Lords!
