The way that I got over agoraphobia was to force myself to do a little at a time until I got used to it.  It might have taken 2 months to go 2 blocks alone, but I had to force myself.  Start with just stepping out the door. Do it throughout the day.  Then go a little further.  A little at a time until you're practically bored with it, then go a little further.  One day, hopefully, you will regain your confidence.  In the meantime, I would take some precautions for the embarrassment of peeing in public, like wear incontinence pants, just in case, or a Poise pad. It would be 1 less thing to worry about. This is a slow and scary syndrome to recover from, but it will happen.

The best advice I can give you is to find a therapist right away who will come to your house.  Keep looking until you find one, and don't give up.  I've had a therapist come to my house, so I know they exsist.  
I think you're also suffering from OCD, so try to find a therapist who does cognitive behavioral therapy.   Those babysteps will pay off, I promise.  
And don't forget how strong you are.  You have to be strong to go through all you've been through and still want to fight this thing.  
I wish you the best.
