Where abouts are you Clarry ? There are countless people here who've been wary of the 'outside' world who've built up their confidence and social skills by attending Headway meetings.

Try Googling Headway meetings in your area. They're not always close by, but the journey itself will help boost you confidence and sense of achievement and you'll be in the company of folk who don't judge or have unrealistic expectations.

Do you manage to get out for groceries etc ? And do you still drive, or are you reliant on public transport since your BI ?

Where are you from Clarry? Sorry to hear about your partner! Wing it easier said than done but just be friendly and welcoming then take it from there x
