I don't know if what I said can qualify as an answer to leaving the house? It's just that I feel bad being the way I am now. And I feel bad that others whom I know are taking trips. Plus I feel like I have leave the area where I live now to relocate because it's too costly and there's not much great things going for me.

I understand how you feel.

I hadn't left my apartment for almost 2 weeks (except to pick up the mail and, once, to go to the laundry room) until yesterday. It's the time change, the way the sun stays low. I feel so afraid. Just doom. Terror. But I made it to the grocery store yesterday and to a therapy appointment today.

I rarely leave my residence.

I almost never leave my parents' home and when I do, it's with my Mom. I live with them. I sometimes plan to go out shopping alone or to eat somewhere alone but I never do it since I am worried about putting on clean clothes and wearing makeup and having alright, clean hair. I think it is an insurmountable thing to do. It sucks since I need to work. I get Disability but it is not enough for me. I've been stick in the house since about 2019, and I really wish I could find some independence. I'm a thirty year old woman and I need to try to make life happen for me. I'm trying some things indoors. I've started doing journal prompts. I started drawing again in the spring but I cannot seem to do it daily. I mostly like the computer. I guess I need to meet the demand and then I think I need to just suit my needs. Does it mean I'm being optimistic to say I could ever get out?

I completely understand how you feel. I’m in the same situation.

I rarely leave my house either. Intrusive thoughts

It has taken me a long time to accept I am the same way. I prefer to avoid places with lots of people, always feeling congested in these environments.

I very rarely leave my house, unless it's an absolute necessity---and if I do, I have to have someone come with me for support.......I can relate to many of you....
I am literally afraid of almost everything outside of my home......My world is very small.....**SIGH**

I’m scared to go out of my home because of the coronavirus and crime rates.
