    Dear Gabe,

    I will pray. God has blessed you with freedom to make choices and take action and I also challenge you to take action towards improving this area of your life. So, instead of just asking God to take care of this for you, it's both praying and you doing your part. This is a good verse to repeat regularly: Philippians 4:13

    We don't know each other, but I already detected a word you said had a negative slant to it and I don't believe is true. You wrote that you "can't" leave your home. But you can. Sometimes negative thoughts need to be challenged. If what is said is true, then surely it can withstand a few questions, right? Often we entrap ourselves in our own mental prison, because of our own negative thinking. So, instead of assuming you can't do things, assume you can. Instead of looking at glass half empty, look at it half full. Instead of looking at your life as what you don't have or can't do. Thank God and be greatful for all you have and all you CAN do. Keep repeating Philippians 4:13. That verse says you CAN not a can't. Who do you believe more, God, or that thought that said you can't? Where does the can't thought come from? Your parents, relative, spouse, you as a child, a boss, satan? Is it true only for you or for everyone else? Is it true 100% of the time, only part of the time, or none of the time? What if it wasn't true?

    I'm not sure if you realize this, but many people used to have paralyzing anxieties and no longer do. If millions of people could learn to manage and improve in this area, don't you think there's a high % probability you can too? I'm sure you're aware of all the resources God has already blessed us with to help, like books and counseling with ideas. The #1 thing to reduce anxiety is exposure to the thing that triggers the anxiety, in tiny little increments. Open door, close it, open door take one step, go back, etc. Each day expanding, and using positive reinforcement. Then challenging our assumptions and negative thoughts. God bless..
