Make an appointment with your doctor for medication, and go start therapy. It will help you work through it.

Jad - How old are you and what kind of treatment are you receiving? Being unable to go out because of panic is a disorder called agoraphobia which, in its worse stage can cause people to become homebound...or afraid to leave their home alone as they might have a panic attack.
You need to be on medication, if you can take it, and in a kind of treatment called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The medication will control the attacks while you learn new ways of handling the panic and agoraphobia.

if panic attacks are making you home bound you need to see a Dr and figure out a way to curb this. Sometimes it can be done w/exercise and meditation but you also might need medication. You need to see a DR you DO NOT want to live your life like that.
Good luck!

It is called Agoraphobia. You can see a professional Psychologist that can teach you relaxation techniques for your panic attacks and also could prescribe medications for this disorder if it is serious.
Good Luck!

Stop having panic attacks. Focus on your breath, control yourself.

It sounds like you are agorophobic. You might need meds and therapy- Behavior Modification . Panic attacks suck but you won't die youll just feel like it .

You need to tell somebody about this like a therapist or even a family member. Talking about it is the first step to recovery.

That's totally up to you. You have to go out so that you can go to a doctor and get help. They don't make house calls. Maybe you need to be inpatient at a psych hospital?
