I have (for a long time) had almost daily anxiety around being inside my own house, and especially inside my own room for too long. I've never known or heard of anyone else having this issue. Has anyone else experienced this or know anyone who has? Is there a name for this? I don't necessarily mean a fear that anything bad will happen, just an anxiety (sometimes causing attacks) of being at home for too long or being alone for too long - that grows when you don't have a substantial thing to escape to (places, people, events, etc).

I'm 30 and live with housemates. I've moved around a lot and the level of intensity of this issue has fluctuated depending on my house at the time, housemates at the time, season, available transportation, people available to spend time with, etc. 

I have a dense cocktail of mental disorders, chronic illnesses, neurodivergencies, etc. but the things I think could be responsible for this happening are: (1) I have a long history with insomnia and have developed an intricate network of anxieties and coping mechanism around sleep hygiene. Spending too much time in my room, especially at night, tends to make it harder for me to sleep; (2) My parents are kind of hoarders and back when I was younger and living with them, I basically couldn't hang out in the living room because there literally was no room to, so I was sort of trapped in my room. This + my insomnia + the fact that my mom used to sleep on the couch in the living room meant that I was confined to my room all night (until I learned to drive); (3) I'm extremely extroverted and like to spend a lot of time around the people I care about. I could (and might) make a whole separate post about my intense (sometimes unhealthy) need to be around other people on a daily basis, but essentially - if I'm alone for an entire day I start to break down and kind of lose my grip on reality. This can happen as quickly as someone canceling their evening plans with me. Not having plans tends to mean being stuck at home.

In the Before Times, it was easy for me to make plans with people on a regular basis, or go out to a party/bar/venue/club/diner if nobody was available. But now in COVID, especially with winter getting colder, it's become harder and harder to find people to spend time with and places to be outside without freezing, so I feel like all my usual coping strategies are out the windows and I'm starting to have small anxiety attacks on the regular because of the isolation. It's really difficult because I have a lot of things I want+need to work on but they all involve being inside and I can't focus on them because my brain and my body are screaming "cannot be in house! must be outside!" Lately I've been going on a lot of long late night bike rides in the freezing cold and coming back with frozen fingers that I have to run under warm water.

TLDR: I get anxiety if I'm in my own house/bedroom for too long and have a strong need to leave my house every day. I seem to be the only person who experiences this?? It's making COVID really difficult for me.
