I'm a copywriter for startups and megacorps, I make a nice living. I haven't gone out into the world in a bit. You can check my post history, I have a regular copy clinic I do on one of the business subs and I've talked a bit before about how I got this way.

Keep in mind that I didn't have this job before the agoraphobia kicked in, I fell into it because I needed the money and ended up being really good at it. Survival is one hell of a motivator and no matter how bad things get, most of us will do what we have to do to get by.

As for other jobs, I know 2 agoraphobic programmers, an agoraphobic grant writer and another that sells blown glass items on etsy. The programmers are self taught, the grant writer was a grant writer before she was raped and got PTSD and stopped leaving the house, and the other that sells etsy stuff began doing that after he became unwell.

Most of the agoraphobes that I know and have met through reddit or other forums are pretty productive folks, they are just dealing with some seriously awful trauma and don't know what next step to take. Some people are like this for a few years, some people never snap out of it. But the worst thing you can do is just get stuck in a cycle of not doing anything at all.

If any of you are in a similar position, force yourselves to be social. Find some work, even crappy work, so you can maintain some kind of independence and dignity. Stay engaged with hobbies, find a passion and a friend that will help you stay connected to the world. We're all living odd-ball lives, but they're OUR odd-ball lives. Each of us has a right to be on this earth just as much as anybody else, even if being here means just means redditing in your bedroom closet with your cats.
