Typically only during episodes of depression or agoraphobia. Both come and go. During these times I like to sleep my emotions away and feel comforted hiding under blankets.

Experts always say the key to feeling better is to force myself outside. Even during these patches I try to spend a min of 10 min a day sitting on my porch. I believe we need to take care of ourselves and what that looks like is different for everyone.

The nice thing about the internet and forums is that we can get social interaction without having to go out. I like that.
