I almost started crying in the store today well I was but not loudly I was sweating and shaking. Now I'm home and calmed down a bit but I usually stay home 24/7 but I had to go shop for clothes I ended up getting upset and going without anything.

Hi well done for making the effort as it can't have been easy. The trouble with staying indoors 24/7 is that it becomes habit forming and the outside world seems very fearful and strange.

Maybe you are better off just going out a few yards every day and gradually going further in time? Take it easy and slow and accustom yourself to being out without rushing things. This will just make you more worried about going out.

You are not a failure though so please don't think that. You did a very brave thing and with small steps you will soon be able to get out and about more in future.

Do you have someone to go out with you? That might help.

Are you on any medication or treatment plan designed by your psychiatrist? If not, may I suggest you try to get on one. You don't need to suffer needlessly. You can also live the same quality of life all of the "normies" do.
