Are you seeing a therapist who specializes in anxiety treatment, particularly CBT?  And I agree with the above, if your life is that circumscribed, you probably do need to see a psychiatrist about medication to at least discuss it.  But don't expect medication to substitute for therapy -- and good luck.
