It might be helpful to ask yourself the big question about how helpful it is to have these anxious thoughts. What is to your advantage by thinking this way and what is to your disadvantage of thinking this way? Similarly ask yourself what is positive by going out and what isn't. What incremental changes are reasonable then for you to make?

I'm really not sure why I feel this way except maybe not having to make decisions, not having to remember anything, not have to deal with people. Positive I get my groceries and don't have to go back out for a week or so. I can't think of a disadvantage of thinking this way. Or am I not understanding the question.
