i hear what you are saying. i have work and home and the road in between. i go to the store on my way home from work 2x per month. once i am in my apt, there is no leaving again. it takes a lot of selftalk to get out that door. its worse now that my son moved back to the area because now i can text him and ask him to run to the store for me. even at work, the girls will say, wanna go to lunch, and i wont leave the building. once i get there, i stay there. this isnt what i planned for myself. i imagined myself in a healthy relationship to live out the rest of my life, going out, having fun, socializing, but there is no way i am going to get there from here. i dont know how to change it. i dont really have friends. just my colleages from work and they are married with kids so really cant go do things. i would like to out to dinner after work but they have to get home to theri families. i dont want to go out to the bars because that is not the type of man i want to meet. and i simply do not hang out in bars. i do push myself to go to the movies now and then, but how do you meet someone at the movies. i thought about going to church but i dont get up by 930 in the morning. so i dont know if my options are limited or if i am limiting my options because of my anxiety.
