I have been unemployed for over a year now, and I'm starting to feel like my confidence is really slipping. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for me to leave my house; I often feel scared and shaky at the thought of going outside. I can’t help but wonder if my prolonged joblessness is contributing to this emotional distress and making me feel agoraphobic. I know I’m not alone in this struggle, but it’s tough to cope with these feelings.
