I'm scared because I am making my world smaller.

I feel better than I have in a while. The problem is I am not going anywhere. Since my cousin withdrew his friendship and my psychiatrist moved, I rarely go anywhere. I will plan on going out, but change my mind at the last minute. I have even boxed in my desk/office area with huge shelves so it forms a little cave. If I don't go anywhere how can I seek out treatment? Do I need to seek out treatment? I am fairly content to work at home. I work in the yard all the time. I make projects for the house. I just don't want to go where I may get hurt. If I do go out it is around closing time at the store or with my husband. Should I be concerned that I am becoming so isolated? I still interact with my husband and children. We always have a good time.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Then in a while, when you are ready, take little steps further away.
Its like you have to get your confidence back - but little by little, and when you are ready. No one can say "You SHOULD be going here" etc They are not you, and only you know how you feel and what you can cope with.
Don't let things get out of control, if they aren't already. Take action before this happens.
Therapists are not trusted by a lot of people, and the fact is, if you have a therapist you don't trust, you cannot benefit from them in any way. Often, you have to give a therapist a little bit of time, a chance to gain your trust. I'm not sure if you would ever be able to trust any therapist at all, but I think it would definitely be a good idea to seek out a psychiatrist who could prescribe some medication to help with the paranoia. Meds can really help a lot in many cases.
Think about, at least. If you can't afford treatment, check into whether your area has a community mental health center or not...like a non profit place. Those places usually charge you based on your income, and will even help you get medications. Also, Wal-Mart has that $4.00 list of meds you could look into and discuss with your doc.
I hope you get the help you deserve.
