Hi Buffy01,

I also used to feel the same way; going out makes me more depressed and anxious. After that, I started meditation, focused on self-care, read books that provide positive thoughts, etc. It helps me to feel better than before.

I hope it helps you.

I struggle a lot with sad feelings. Recently, I started going through a DBT workbook. I'm doing the green one by McKay. It's been helping me. I've learned to use REST when I feel bad. And that leads to doing things that distract or soothe me. Another thing I'm learning from the book is mindfulness and meditation. Those are quite helpful. Perhaps you could speak with your therapist about some DBT techniques. I wish you well.

I can't get in YouTube because of a cyber bullying and nearly having my YouTube account banned. I'm working on self care. I'm looking for more self help books.
