I take a lot of drugs and never leave the house. I wouldn't recommend that though.
I do know what you mean. Grocery stores are hell. I feel exposed under those fluorescent lights, and ashamed to be out in public. Like just the sight of me is offensive to people.

EXACTLY.
Thanks for understanding.

I am like this too Honesty, you are so not alone. To me absolutely everywhere is like the grocery store. I haven't an answer but I can sympathise with you and I wish you all the best. I'm sure some DS'ers will come up with some good comments/answers/suggestions.

i went to an internist monday for an antidepressant that would relieve my SAD. he said he couldn't give me anything for it because I was right, the world is becoming a horrible place. he gave me lexapro. i'm a freelance writer and i work at home so that solves a lot of problems. but, still, i hate grocery shopping and clothes shopping is the worst! when people like us have to go out a lot it's terrible. maybe therapy helps.

I don't have any answers either. I hate shopping. All the noise and people trigger me big time. Fortunately, my bf is understanding and does the grocery shopping. Can you explain your situation to your dad and can he take off the shopping for a bit until you feel stronger?

no.
he orders for me at restaurants and stuff like that but he doesn't fully understand. like sometimes he'll laugh at it/me for being so insecure.

I hate going to places sometimes because i feel that when ppl look at me, they see there is something wrong with me. There everything wrong with me. I felt like crawling out of my skin everytime I go to a public place with lots of ppl who could NOT relate to you.

I never get out my house, I am too depressed, too insecure, too afraid, I hate going places with alot of ppl like churches, stores because I might see someone I know and they made look me like I am like look horrible and stuff

I feel the exact same way. It is so frustrating because it seams like such a simple task to go out to the grocery store but it sucks the life out of me. I cant stand it when people look at me. I am very self conscious as well. The therapist i am seeing is having me write down the thoughts i have and challenging me as to why i feel that way or wether it is true. Most of my thoughts come down to feelings of inadequacy and not wanting to feel judged. BUt i am not a mind reader so who knows what people are thinking. I know its tough! My last task was to go to the mall and keep my head up and if people are looking at me , i am to look back to see how they are reacting to me. She was right that most people are curious about their surroundings and it is nothing personal. If they scowl, which only one person did, well whats the big deal? Fight through the unconfortable feelings and you will retrain your mind and body how to react. Hope the advice helps.

Once piece of advice I was given which helped so much was that the world we live in is a selfish place and people are generally so wrapped up in themselves they don't even realise you exist let alone want to study you. We are wasting our time worrying about people who don't give a damn anyway! It's almost quite laugable. It really helped me anyway. Hell, we only have one life to live...like faithfinder78 says just bloody sod them! They are not caring about you so why care about them? (Hope I don't sound harsh because believe me I do understand)

I have 2 service dogs. All the attention is clearly focused on them. It eases the anxiety and even allows me to talk with people. They just focus on the dog so I can take a deep breath and feel like no one is paying attention to me. :)

thanks maybe I will write those things down as well :] thank you so much for the advicee.
