Can you go to a cafe or something for lunch every couple of days? It might be tough not working but maybe if you get out and just order a tea or something, at least you’re with people. Even if you’re not talking to them, at least you’ll have contact with the outside world. What about support groups like AA or nami or DBSA? That’s a good way to meet people if you’re anxiety isn’t too much. I personally have trouble making myself go to support groups because of anxiety but once I am there I am fine.

I understand the wanting to leave but not being able to. Not exactly the same but I live with my mom and I really want to move out but haven’t been stable in a job for awhile, so I haven’t been able to. I just got a new job that I’m hoping won’t be too stressful for me and I’ll actually be able to save money to move out. I’m going to wait another year though to make sure I can keep the job.
