I am in my 60s and I wish I felt better. Anything could happen to me and no one would know. I do not shop for food any more. I hardly get out any more. There is nothing to look forward to. I am a very introverted person so I have no friends.

GM sorry to hear you're having such a hard time and want you to know that you're not alone. I too suffer from depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. Don't beat yourself up too much or try not to. I understand your pain of not leaving my house, getting out in general is a huge task and thankfully I have my mother which is a tremendous help. I also don't have many friends I can talk to or feel comfortable with but that's as far as I can go right now. I'm not sure where your located but if you're interested in meeting or speaking with people who understand and have similar situations I recommend looking into support groups. I'm in NY and know there are S.O.S (Save Our Selves) groups which are free and created/run by peer recovery teams. Hope this helps and good luck at your Dr visit!
