Agoraphobia: I commend you for wanting to overcome Agoraphobia. Reflect whether you have fear standing in a line, being in the crowd, being in a store or theater, being on a bridge; or travelling in a car, bus, train, ship or airplane. Believe in Yourself! Trust Healing powers of your body and mind to overcome fear and panic. Say to yourself not to avoid these situations. Overcome one fear at a time.

Possibly: "Exposure therapy" works well if you can be persuaded to do it repeatedly. Presumably you are taking medicine to prevent panic attacks.
