Lately I haven't even wanted to leave my house or do anything. I try and find excuse's not to do out. It's like Im scared of people. I really need some help am I nutz or something? I like my blinds closed and I dont like answering my phone I usually let it ring and I always check who it is before I answer the door beacuse if its not someone i NEED to see I won't answer it! Please help me. I feel so lost and confused no one in my family knows whenever I talk to them I just say im busy and have to go out but really im not. Ive also gotten into a pattern of lieing making up excuses not to do things. What can I do!?!?!

Hi wouldunotice, it looks like your going through some tough times right now. I'm going to be creating a account but right now Im too tierd too so I'll let you know when I do and you can PM me.
I went through the same thing before and I realized that the longer I did it the worst it got. Maybe you can start by taking some baby step's like accepting the next invitation to go somewhere or answering the phone or door. Do you feel lots of anxiety when your around people? You may have a social disorder but Im not doctor so I couldn't tell you. You should look into seeing a counseller to talk about the way your feeling. You don't want this to get any worse. When did this start? Maybe by going back to the begining we can work on what first triggered it and start there because I know sometimes you get soo upset you just want to give up and don't know where to start. But I'll be here for you whenever you need something.
Lieing about you situtation isn't going to help. I know it ain't easy but you should tell a family memeber. They could be like your support system and help you out.

I agree with disaster you should talk baby steps and talk to a counseller but in the mean time Im here for you if you need to talk. You must be feeling really lonely right now. But Im sure once people start to join this board you'll have a lot of online friends to help you through this. Why don't you want to go outside? What's stopping you? Once you decide to stay inside and not go out everyday you cut yourself off from the world it's going to get worse and worse untill you turn out like the crazy cat lady/man. (not saying u will) Just a metafor. Just take those baby steps maybe have a friend or two over your to house to get used to it again.

they won't laugh at you!! tell your family! Explain it to them or to a counseller. It sounds like you may have social anxiety (I think thats what it is). You should see a doctor.....
And by staying in all the time it just makes you even more depressed so you need to get out and get some fresh air and some sunshine! just go for a walk in the park or something.

I can relate to most of what you said. I know sometimes it feels like sucha big effort to do the smallest things and sometimes I just have to make myself do it as silly as it seems.
I really can't remember when it all started and it could of been like this for years I was just good at ignoring it and continuing on with life until I finally realized the way I was going wasn't working and that I had to stop shutting people out of my life and started talking about the things that have been going on.
Its really important you talk to someone that you trust and know that will understand or not judge. Thats the first step to mental health and just keep plugging away cause it won't last forever if you don't want it to. Its all in how you think and right now you just need a little help and push in the right direction.
As for you not wanting to leave your house, hey I understand completely. But for me lately I've just started to realize that when I go out and do small things like errands I feel some accomplishment and makes me want to keep doing those little things everyday so I can build up to bigger and better things. Just keep your head up, as it will get better you just have to believe.
