I'm Home 24/7!

Does anyone else stay home 24 hrs a day, because they just don't find anything good about life to venture out into the world? I literally stay home and just watch t.v 24/7. Nothing motivates me at all. I've been like this for over 10 years. Nothing excites me anymore. What a crappy way to live. I'm lucky if I leave the house once every 2 months just to go out for a bite to eat. Now I've been feeling angry all the time. This sucks!

This was me over a decade ago. I had agoraphobia. I never left the house for anything. I would be irritable and teary then clean for Britain like my life depended on it. Is there good news? Yes but it's not an overnight success and took me over 14 months to get where I am now. I started with baby steps and pushed myself to try and find something that motivated me and my goodness that was hard. What I used to enjoy I no longer did and as for doing things...didnt happen. If you aren't seeing a doc then pls do. They may do a phone call rather than you going to them if you explain the situ. There is a light...its distant but there. The negativity is normal for anyone with anxiety, depression. Yes it's crap but also can, with help, be treated. By writing the post it looks like you've had enough of being this way so maybe have a think about it. If i could send you motivation I would....as I can't I wish you well. Janie.

Maybe we can talk in private? Phone? I'd love some advice.

[HearYou in reply to Hidden]

Guess you would like to stay hidden at home, but you managed to get out enough to learn how to use the words "nigger" ," God" and "ass" in the same phrase when someone reached out to you.

What is really your problem?

[HearYou in reply to Hidden]

Don't really suggest anyone taking a chance on PM or phone until you learn more about this member, after what happened to Issack.

I know the feeling man, I fell into a huge depression after getting laid off from my job, the only thing I had to do was just sit in the house, keep applying for jobs, and watch Netflix and workout. I would get up to walk to the 7 eleven across the street to get a cup of coffee, most of the time I didn’t want any coffee, but I’d go anyway just to get out of the house for a few minutes. But anyway not to get off topic, yeah it gets depressing being in the house 24/7.

[Lukedeanna in reply to Aromley_]

I'm the same way I only leave my house when I absolutely have to, I watch tv and do nothing else. I get panicked in crowds and feel like I'm being judged. I am not comfortable with strangers or even my friends from my old job. I avoid going out, talking on the phone. I'm sad because I used to be strong and brave

[Aromley_ in reply to Lukedeanna]

Same here, I’m to the point where I hate going to the grocery store, mainly because of the people (the city I live in sucks.”

[SpeaktheTruth]

Since you are a piece of crap and like to call people the “N” word on this site, I think it’s best you do stay inside your house and not interact with anyone.

[HearYou in reply to SpeaktheTruth]

You know what SpeaktheTruth and I are talking about. Abusing a member of this venue is not acceptable, then go "Hidden" afterward.

If you have a real anxiety or depression issue, of course you are welcome, as is any person. But not that way.

An apology is due I believe to Issack.

[Aromley_ in reply to HearYou]

Wait this is the guy that said that? Wow how did I not realize before? Yeah I agree what he said was uncalled for and straight up disrespectful.

[HearYou in reply to Aromley_]

Yes, SpeaktheTruth picked up on him first. We found his actual user name is Ariesguy331. Anyone who is using a "Hidden" username makes me rather uncomfortable.

There was a rather recent bullying by a member to a young woman in another venue that lead to her attempting suicide twice and ended up in the hospital. Some of us belong to the venue "Anxiety" as well as this one.

Didn't want to see that Issack was being set up for anything like that.

[Aromley_ in reply to HearYou]

Omg, is the girl doing okay? Whoever would dare to do that is scum in my opinion, that’s definitely not ok.

[HearYou in reply to Aromley_]

I haven't heard lately about her. He may be scum, but with serious mental/emotional problems....so guess he's our "scum" to try to help but to be on the alert when he appears again under a different username.

[HearYou]

What, apology? No reply? No denial? No stick something "holy" up my WHITE *ss?

If you really have a ten year depression that has you completely housebound? with such a bigoted attitude, please contact the administrators who might be able to connect you to proper mental health professionals.

[HearYou]

Ariesguy331, if you actually do need professional help, but haven't gotten it in ten years, and you have such trouble that you need to try to hide your username, and can't write decently to someone who is different than you, PLEASE contact the administrators. We aren't professionals nor a doctor.

I was saddened to read the comments after mine, well saddened and furious. Thanks for letting me know as I would happily chat to anyone if they are struggling. J
