I posted on here a while back about my problems and how sh;t my life is. Since then I feel I've made some progress in getting some routine in my life and reducing my day to day anxiety but in reality I'm no less avoidant than before, in fact I may even be more so. (To recap, I'm a man in my late 20s, have no friends and almost never go out to public places, not even to the shop. Almost all I do is stay in my room and play computer games, watch videos and generally waste my life)

I've been thinking that I really need to start talking to someone about my problems, that maybe that will help me actually start to deal with my avoidance. I still live with my parents but I don't talk to them or anyone else about my problems. I'm pretty sure they have an idea of what my problem is but I never discuss it with them or anybody else, which makes me feel very isolated. I suppose I feel they wouldn't really understand and that they'd only start pressurising me to go to the doctor or something. My mum has always been sort of understanding of my problems but my dad much less so, so I wouldn't want him finding out at all.

I suppose I'm just wondering if other people are in a similar situation to me here who haven't told anyone about their anxiety/avoidance problems or people who were in this situation but started talking to someone about it - and how much it helped. Thanks.
