Although I’ve been out today I now feel like walking around the corner just so I’m around people. I have to admit I don’t feel my house is my comfort zone at all, it just feels like I’m trapped, Even happens When I don’t feel too good. Why is that? Is this just me?

Hi Sam

I felt like that too at the worst time in my illness. In my case it seemed to relate to nowhere feeling safe anymore because of this underlying sense of unease. I really related to the Dido song Honestly OK where the lyrics say "I just want to be safe in my own skin, I just want to be happy again. I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore"

Not sure if you have heard it.

The place I felt the safest in was my car strangely enough.

Your house will become your comfort zone again when you are better.

Best wishes

Kim

I feel like I overthink when I’m home. I like being around people nowadays!!!

[Laniben in reply to Hidden]

Yes that’s what I do indoors no matter what I try to do, outside although I get anxious nervous and goodness knows what else I’m distracted by people xx

I know how you feel I come alive when im out the house lost in the countryside.

[Laniben in reply to kenster1]

Hi,

I agree that sometimes home could be a trap. It reminds you of your state of mind. Going out is my coping mechanism even if I do not feel like it or nervous, or apprehensive.

And like others have said- nature is great. Everything is alive and always changing.

xx
