were you driving in that tunnel or walking? driving on highways, in tunnels, etc really stresses me out. if it was walking, maybe a phobia to closed in spaces, i have that too, not too bad, just things like MRIs, but can imagine if its worse.

as for socializing, you're doing it here already! and if its hard for you to socialize then you should be proud of yourself for this alone.

as for going out, as tink said, maybe small steps to reinforce confidence. people and activities you can look forward to perhaps? have to admit, hard for me to put myself in your shoes, hopefully others have some good ideas.
