Staying inside

[Kookie]

Hey, I've been inside the house and mainly my bedroom for 3 full days. I feel like crap lol, it's such a shame because I love going out and stuff, I just dont have the opportunity to unless I go out on my own which is no fun! Kinda depresses me too it really does suck.

Does anyone else find themselves just sitting in their rooms for days on end?

 

[just wanna b normal]

uuuhh yes cuzz i dont have anything else to. no real friends! fake friends who pretend to like you! but its not that bad. im thinking about going to job corp! cuzz i cant find a job! its like college! sort of! i say better! idk havent went yet! yeah its gets tiring!*sigh*

 

[Kookie]

ooh nice, good luck with the job corp thing

 

[Bustn Justin]

Yea at one point and time I was always in my room when I am not at work and just sleep for hours. Now that I have my own place I will watch TV or go on the computer.

I tend to run my errands on the same days I work so I can stay at home all day on my days off.

 

[fitftw]

the only time I leave my room is to go to class ugh, or the gym to feel better about myself, or the market.

story of my life. When I was like 11, my parents called my room 'the cave', because I never came out of it. Grew up in 'the cave', the computer raised me. Wooo

I'm enjoying hanging around home for a couple of days with not much to do

 

[Dr. Doom]

Yeah, the only time I go out of the house is with my dad. So maybe every other day to a few times a week. I mean I do get out, just not unless it's school so I find my self at home for a few days at a time frequently. Not only is it social anxiety but just the lack of funds to do anything.

 

[Falkor]

Believe me , I've done that for three years. But now I really want to change my day life. But I know it's hard, but force yourself, You don't like this way right
But i can totally relate, have done that for sooo long.
Felt depressed, lonely, isolated... :-/ But I know that's not the way I want to be. Keep your head up and think of the things you want to reach,
and even if ur afraid, TRY IT.. and push your self a little and you will see you can do more than you think

 

[LycraPantiies92]

Yes i need to bloody go out.
i'm seriously going mad. but oh effing well.

 

[forksandspoons]

Ive been that way for almost a year and its driven me crazy. I don't even talk to my roommates. I just sit in front of the tv stuffing my face all day everyday, I hate it.

Im working on it though, Im trying to take baby steps out. I can't possibly handle being in a large crowd without having a breakdown, but I can handle being with a few people at a time. Eventually I hope to build myself to the point that I can go to large social events again, but sitting around not doing anything won't accomplish that. Believe me I know how hard that is. Like flowergirlie said, you need to try and make yourself do something, or else nothing will ever change.

I spend a lot of time in my room. I'd love to get out more but, just going out somewhere by myself feels so meh.

 

[MollyBeGood]

it's never a good idea to isolate yourself no matter how independent and introverted you might be people need people it's a fact of life.
Just try simple little things like the post office-LoL yeah at the holidays or the grocery and force a smile and spread good cheer even if you don't feel it it's good to get out and be a person in public...we are social animals, I consider myself a lone wolf, but i know i have found a pack mate so that's my sanity.

 

[LycraPantiies92]

Hmm i can't remember the last time i went out. So i've probably been inside a month or something.

 

[Black]

It takes over 2 hours now to find a movie which I havn't seen yet
Said enough ?

 

[Emmaa]

Yeah, I spend a lot of time locked up in my room.. Even if my family are home and I'm not arguing with them I tend to like being in my own little world. So long as I've got my laptop and music or a good book I'm okay.. It's when I've been in my room for ages, come downstairs and realised that everyone's gone out, without even telling me or checking one me that I start to worry!

 

[Horatio]

Recently I moved into my own place. I usually spend all weekend home alone without leaving, and now that it is summer holidays here I'm spending days on end.

I know that it is bad but I just can't face the world at the moment and every time I venture out I seem to proved right in that I simply don't belong here. I have no family in town and less and less friends every day, so I don't see my situation improving anytime soon

 

[Kiwong]

I do get out a fair bit, but I really like retreating to my unit at the end of a long day at work, and shutting the world of people out for a while.

 

[The LostOne]

Trying to force yourself to go out in the crappy British winter is not easy

 

[shybutsexy]

Yeah same here. For the past year i only left the house to go to school and to buy cigarrettes, dont remember ever leaving the house for a diferent porpose, and i think im gonna go crazy anytime now. I wanna get out the house but got no one to go out with, no friends, no girlfriend, and i would much rather stick a needle in my eye than going out to movies, or the mall or something by my own.
