Hello Lyndsea. I am so glad that you came to this group. I totally get what you are going through. I only leave the house twice a month. Mostly to go to doctor appointments. I try to shove everything I have to do for the entire month into those two days. The anxiety, panic attacks, depression is hard to understand if you don't go through it I guess. My oldest brother who is also mentally ill keeps saying that I need to get out there. Go clubbing. Date. I am like dude I can't do those things even if I wanted to. My family has treated me so weird ever since I got on disability. Like I am damaged goods. My mom is pretty good with me. Dad is not sure about it but he doesn't bring it up. My sister in law/ ex best friend said that I need to get over it. That I am riding a gravey train by being on disability. That I need to get some nuts. She said some very hurtful things. I also felt like I was holding her back from doing fun things because I get physically sick when I leave the house. Even leaving my house and going to her house next door was nerve wracking to me. You are a wonderful person.

I can totally understand. The other night I had a panic attack inside my own house and couldn't stop shaking.
