Yes. I suffer from Agoraphobia. Having to go anywhere would set off a small panic attack. There were times where I was supposed to go places where I would know no one, or going to a concert and I would have a full blown attack.
Trying to find a job I would be comfortable at, or going to work everyday would be a struggle for me. Just going to school was hard enough.
This went on for a decade, denying what was wrong. Finally when I was out of options, I seeked councelling and began on a prescription for Paxil. It has helped alot. Unfortunately I am off the meds right now, due to the cost and the fact I can't afford them but I am doing pretty good without it for now.
