By leaving the house, I don’t mean going into the garden, I mean leaving the environs. For example going for a walk.
For me it’s about once a month, which is pretty bad I think.

Good question ever 
yeah, me too i gave up years ago and now i go out twice a week outside, mostly for food or to the pharmacy. Its hard to be so low functioning, i wonder if we can recover on this side…
I go out every day to exercise.
It depends, sometimes I can stay at home for days… Sometimes I’m going out for a walk every day, for instance, in summer.
I’m a student now, so I’m trying to attend my lectures as much as I can. If not my lectures, probably I would leave my home twice in a week.
For me it’s every 2 Days or so.
It’s usually for doctors appointments or food shopping - very local.
When I’m doing very badly I only leave the apt if I really have to, like for work or to buy cigs or groceries, though usually I would run such errands after work, while I’m already out. When I’m doing relatively well, like I am now (though earlier I was feeling lousy enough that I called off work), I go somewhere every day. Being cooped up in my apt does me a lot of harm, very bad for my mental health.
For me it can be once every fortnight to have my depot. Here and there I might go out twice in a fortnight. I couldn’t really the answer the poll as I go out somewhere between every week and every month.
When the local drop in was open( It’s been closed 6 years) I was going out 3-5x a week to the drop in and to walk round town. Since then I’ve become more and more someone to stay indoors.
Basics for me is have a shower and get out of the house and go for a walk. I know I feel 100% better getting those two things done.
“How often do you leave the house?”
never.
i’m in mom’s basement, away from sunlight
I go to work every day, but that’s about it, besides doctors or pharmacy visits. Every now and then I’ll go along with my wife shopping, but we’d both rather her go alone most times, because I get frazzled too quickly and want to go home.
I don’t have anything to do and everything costs money so unless something special comes up I leave the house for church.
i’m afraid to stay at home cos my mind goes into a dark place so i prefer being in sunlight.
I go to the pharmacy and grocery stores a lot. I have a therapy group I am supposed to go to every week but I miss a week here and there. I also have an art class on fridays.
when I remember grandma, I think that I won’t have the freedom to go outside at some point.
I’m not much of an outside person anyways.
I go to Starbucks everyday and I go to school 5 days a week. I also have dates with my children on the weekends. I feel like I have no life. I really like people and I like being busy but I am tired MI and only have one friend outside of my kids. I guess I am grateful for the action that I get.
just when I run out…
“How often do you leave the house?”
when the moon is full.
Lately I have been leaving my apartment only to make the short walk to our clubhouse where we have day treatment. I haven’t left the auspices of Tenkiller Behavioral Services in ages. We go to town twice a week, but that is with a group from TBS. The only time I have left the auspices of TBS is to mail a letter at the post office.
Just about every day.Very bad for my mi and sz if I stay home too much.
as little as possible
