[di...] Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Unfortunately it is quite common to become housebound due to social phobia. I think it's a good idea not to fight it or try to analyse it too much, because then it is more likely to pass. I would like to suggest to you that the social phobia doesn't represent who you really are and instead it's simply a cue to tell you to avoid unnecessary stimulation and stay stress free. Try not to think of it as too much more than this, because it might become true. I would, if possible, take all the pressure off yourself for a couple of weeks and from there (if you start to feel a bit better) gradually build up to going outside more often. I don't know whether there's a thread in the Support Groups subforum dedicated to people who are housebound. It seems quite likely because it's a common problem. The balance is to not beat yourself up about it but also to not get into such a rut that you can't get out of it. You are still early in the journey. It does get better.

[Th...] Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I had it too. It was difficult to go outside my house and met anyone. After some months off I started to see some of my friends one by one first inside my house, then having lunch with them outside. The phobia vanished over time so after 1.5 years off I did not have it anymore. I’m 3.5 years off now and I do not have any issue anymore so it goes away over time but it takes some time. Take care!
