Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which you're afraid of and often avoid places or situations that may induce panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed. Fearis triggered by the anticipation of a particular situation, such as being in open or enclosed spaces or in a crowded place . The anxiety results from fear that there's no easy way to escape or seek help if intense anxiety develops. More often than not. people who have agoraphobia experience it after having one or more panic attacks, causing them to fear another attack and avoid the place where it occurred.
People with agoraphobia find it difficult to feel safe in any public place, especially where crowds gather. You may feel that you need a friend of relative to accompany you to public places. The fears can be so overwhelming that you may feel unable to leave your home.
Treatment is mainly in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) where you're taught how to manage your emotions and tips to face these situations successfully without being paralyzes by fear.

What you describe is called Agoraphobia,it is an anxiety disorder involving anxiety and intense fear of any situation where escape may be difficult, or where help may not be available. It often involves a fear of crowds, bridges or of being outside alone

Most people can get better through treatment.
Most people develop agoraphobia after having had one or more panic attacks, causing them to fear further attacks and avoid the situation in which the attack occurred.6

People with agoraphobia may need help from a companion in order to go to public places, and may at times feel unable to leave home

Currently, it is not known precisely what causes agoraphobia and other panic disorders. Areas of the brain that control the fear response may play some role, as could genes and environmental factors, given that there is evidence of anxiety disorders running within families.
