Xena Hi and welcome to the community! My mom has struggled with anxiety and fear for many years. This of course can cause horrible depression. I remember a time when she couldn't come out of the house either. In time if she did manage to go out my Dad had to park somewhere close where the car could not possibly get blocked in so that if and when she was ready she could go. I remeber how she would get and I knew she felt trapped and frustrated. I think that you are a wonderful place here on these message boards. There are so many people who can help. They are so kind and they really do care too! Hang in there Xena.....and keep posting here. Hugs to you
