Do you get out much? I just find I’m depressed and down most of the time. I feel I have had my chance in life and I messed it up and became unwell. I don’t really like socialising and meeting new people. I think it’s normal for people with severe mental illness to isolate themselves.

I don’t go out unless my mom makes me. I don’t really want to do anything other than lay in my bed and watch YouTube videos. I am big on isolating myself. It’s hard to push through it.

I do out once a month for my pdoc appointment and that is about it. The rest of the time I’m at home.

That reminds me I have a pdoc appointment tomorrow. I should write some things down, but in reality I likely won’t…

I like to go out, much more than I used to. But people who are creating anxiety around
a crowds of strangers are making me nervous sometimes.
I don’t go out much. I go to my pdoc and therapist appointments once a month. And i sometimes drive to the gas station and get a soda. But as far as really going out, i tend to stay home.
I don’t care much for socialization honestly. Meeting new people is definitely hard. I just always feel like I have not much to add to the conversation.
I do really like going to my support groups though. I have slowly built up trust in them and feel safe there.
I also love going to the movies. But I prefer going in the middle of the day when no one else is around.
My parents are pressuring me to try and socialize more. I was never the most social person, but after having my breaks it’s even worse. I try and apply myself to things, utilize forums more and whatnot. I hold myself back and one of the main things that does is worry about judgment. It even holds me back a bit from online gaming, I get an off socialish anxiety as well.
I get out once a week though for my group therapy, and I’m with family on the weekends. But any other time, like most people that have contributed to this thread, just sorta hang out at home.
My mother in law encourages me to go out to socials more but I can’t tell her she doesn’t understand I’m not interested in functions, I find them stressful.
I’m happiest at home. I only got out when I or my husband need to go out.
