Safe At Home N Dont Like Lookn Out Windows.anyone Feel This? Posted: 06-16-05 13:04pm
Hey guys. Just a question or two...
Does anylone feel that when they are
stricken by anxiety, they feel sheltered
and safe in their home? Althought being
in your home for so long can be depressing
and you long to spend some time outside
doing something whether it be working,
hanging with friends or whatever it is to
feel better, do you feel that your home is
a safe haven from the outside world?
Somedays I am in my house and I think to
myself, I dont want the world to see me
until I get better, look better and feel
happier and am full of energy.
Its a little too confusing to
explain....
But I guess its like, you feel safe in
your home but you want to go out and get
on with life and feel better but when you
look out your window you get a little
discouraged and worried to face on the
world out there so you stay in your
house...And you just peer through your
windows at odd times to get a glimpse of
what the weather is like out there or
something...
Most of the time I dont like to look out
the window either, and I get discouraged
in bright sunny hot days. But when I
finally am outside I feel much better and
I enjoy the season...
Does anyone feel like this?
I really like being outside but some
mornings I am just so depressed I cant
motivate myself to get ready to go outside
so looking outside just depresses me so I
avoid it sometimes.....But then I push
real hard to change into shorts and
t-shirt and I go outside and I feel much
much better!!!
Does anyone do this or feel like this??

Hey weird, it sounds like you might have
some social anxiety and that is why you
feel weird when you are outside. I felt
like that too when I stepped outside , but
then I adjusted to those feelings. Its
very hard becasue its like you live in
your own little world all secluded in your
home, and then when you step outside into
the social environment, even at the edge
of your doorstep looking outside and at
all the people walking by and living their
life, its like you feel so apart from it
and like you are missing out on something.
Thats how I felt atleast. But you have
to have the strength to one day beat these
feelings/anxiety and say to yourself, "i
am going to go outside, take a walk around
my neighbourhood and keep my chin up!". I
think it also has to do with developing
self confidence. You have to make little
goals everyday such as for example 'today
I will go to the corner store, buy a snack
and say hi to the cashier'.
You just need to hear your voice more
often. Do you live alone? Family?
Roomates? That you can talk to?

Very true..Such feelings may well creep up
if someone remains confined to home for
most of the times. The solutions is
simple..Go out meet new people, make new
friends, or better go for a holiday.

Wow, easier said than done! I have social
anxiety disorder and I was practicly stuck
inside my home for along time. Years.I
couldn't leave the house if there was some
one outside, i'd change my clothes over
and over because I thought someone would
think I looked bad,i would litteraly hide
from people and the list goes on and gets
more ridiculous. Finaly I went to my
doctor, and through my shaking and tears
told him I needed help, and he gave me
paxil. I'm telling you it saved my life.
I am a new person. If I am allowed I will
never stop taking this medication. If you
arn't pressently taking anything, go talk
to your doctor about this tomorrow!!!!
You won't be sorry. It has sexual side
effects, but the bennefits by far out
weigh the costs. I hope this helps you.

Feel Like Throwing Up Posted: 06-22-05 09:24am
I feel so sick right now. I am so down.
I dont even know what the weather is like
right now. My blinds are closed and I am
afraid to open the windows to see what it
is like outside. I feel like caca. I
look like caca. :cry: :cry: :cry: I
really hate the way I look. That is what
brings my self counscience down and my
anxiety high. I feel dizzy right now and
that my life sucks. I feel like such a
loser...Literally!

Anxiety & Stress Posted: 07-02-05 08:36am
I kind of suffer from panic attacks, I
usually get them at my house so I run from
there and go to my moms right across the
street. I am afraid to be alone, I feel
if I have someone with me I will be okay.
I even had to run out of public places
because I started to panic. Havin this
dis-order could make me become similar to
what u have. So I fight it everyday to go
forward and take chances. I know what I
go through during a panic attack at home.
When I leave the house I make sure I have
someone with me. Try doin that it could
help !
