She needs to see a doctor ASAP and quit smoking. All you can do is encourage her to get the help she needs. She also probably needs to be on medication for her agoraphobia, if it's so severe that she cannot even leave the house because of it. Maybe she can call her doctor and arrange to be the last patient of the day, so that there won't be as many people in the office??? Good luck

Does she have a regular doctor? Maybe the doctor can prescribe a sedative to get her in the office. If that doesn't work, yo might need to make the decision about whether it's more important to have her see a doctor or to have her freak out when she's forced to leave the house. There are options where mental health professionals can remove her and have her admitted to a hospital against her will.
You should give it some serious thought.

If her lungs truly feel like they are burning, she may have bronchitis or pneumonia, she needs to see a doctor. If she won't go, and is fighting you on this,call 911, they can help you. Right now, she is a danger to herself.

she NEEDS medical help from the hospital. get her there asap no matter wat. do everything to convince her now. try looking for a solution to stop the smoking habit, this could be the cause of the lung problem and any other problems that could develop in the future.
but now.. hospital!

This would be hard for anyone to deal with, and you seem quite young. You need outside help. Look in your phonebook for a helpline or counseling center, or ask an adult that you trust to help you.

Tell her that you love her. If there anythings happen to her you will miss. Take time with her. Keep her company.
