How do you work while dealing with agoraphobia or anxiety?

In the past few months I’ve developed agoraphobia + severe anxiety and I’m trying to figure out how other people manage it while working.

Do you tell your employer about it? If so, what did you say?

If you work in person, how did you get to the point where you could consistently leave the house and go to work? What if you have a panic attack in the middle of your work? What do you do in that scenario?

I’d love to hear any personal experiences, advice, or accommodations that helped you 😕
