I can't leave my house, I'm so depressed and I want to live my life but I can't. Does anyone have any advice? Please, I really need help.
Walk outside

I know it sounds gay but my anxiety is just so fucking strong that i can't enjoy being outside. I feel like everyone is judging me and I'm afraid of looking or acting weird.
why can't you?

I don't wanna die :(

Go tell a doctor
Seriously. You probably need to go on anti anxiety meds for a while so you can actually manage.

same, anon. i've been depressed for 15 fuckin years and still feel awkward and can't find an existential level in which i feel at home. i've forced myself to find a job and live. things are slowly getting better and better.

Man up and get revenge on life by living it as good as you can. Or just give up.
>>767844088
I feel like I can deal with it myself but I'm coming to realise that I cant
>>767844003
go take public transit for a spin
i promising you there are WAY worse people on there than you
>>767844098
I'm glad to hear they're getting better. I can relate a lot. I'm never comfortable with people but I'm very sad when I'm alone.

I guess some perspective MIGHT help. There are cities like Beijing and all these other horribly apocalyptic Chinese cities so polluted with air that you can't even go for a walk outside. Walking outside and getting some sunlight is good for giving your mind some rest. And looking at greenery (grass, trees, flowers) has been proven to reduce depression and anxiety. Unless you live in downtown detroit I suggest you start going on short little walks in parks idk take your headphones and listen to music while you walk. Looking at nature really does help.

I'll try to, I'm afraid of looking aimless or weird when I'm in public. Like it makes me extremely uncomfortable so it makes it hard to go outside.

I wasted 8 years thinking the same thing. The soon you bite the bullet and go for help the sooner you can start feeling better/

Not OP, but it's really not that easy when you have agoraphobia.

You need to see a doctor, OP. Maybe even a psychologist. I am in your position also, and the only thing that can help us is professionals trained to.

night walks are sick. walkin around on a cool night when no one else is around listening to some great music is a great way to spend time.
always start with what you're comfortable with. for me that meant 5 minute walks around the block.
sunglasses also made going outside way easier. felt strange at first but i feel way less self conscious now for some reason when i have sunglasses on.

kill yourself.
Thanks guys, you've made me consider seeing a doctor but I still worry that I'm not bad enough to go or that my problems are too small to be seen by a doctor. I'm not sure if I can't deal with this myself. I don't know what to do.

Just do it, nothing to lose and much to win.

When I'm depressed, I bring out used bottles. Here in germany we bring used glass bottles into containers or back to the store and get some money back. Even when I think I can't do anything, I can do that. And while I'm doing that (and sometimes after) I feel like I can do at least something. And have purpose. Sounds silly but it worked 100x for me.
But go to a doctor. A good one will take you seriously, I know mine did.
Good luck and good strength to you my friend!

For a long time I thought I could manage it myself but when I hit my early 20s it became completely unmanageable. Medication DEFINITELY helps but it's a matter of finding the right one. Plenty of meds didn't help me or made me feel worse so I really thought they were useless for the longest time. But if you stick with it you can eventually find one that works for you. Just take your time with it and you can start feeling better slowly but surely.

Start your house on fire. You'll either leave your house or die. Either way, one of us will be happy
>>767843788
Find something, something creative, that you can sink yourself into. Depression is bad in almost every way but it can make you more creative
Paint, create music, Games, poetry, write a short story, create a map or mood for a game, draw a picture, draw a comic, pretend to be a Time traveler and post on /b/ answering people's questions about the future.
It might not make you happy but it can give you meaning.

Thank you for all the help and advice, it really helps
>>767844776
Seriously, just do it. Don't underestimate how serious the problem is. If you're so depressed that you're unable to live your life then a doctor will be more than willing to help you. It's no different than going to see a doctor if anything else was physically wrong with you.
Don't you have family? Go grab dinner with you fam, try seeing things their way and try to understand them better - even if you're different. I'm sure you can re-connect with them

Small steps, go shopping, sit on a bench. then go for walks going to pubs.
>>767843788
do you have access to any anti-depressants?
>>767844159
>Other people have it worse so you shouldn't be depressed
That doesn't work. You can't give an objective quality to an experience that's inherently subjective.

OP if you do this make sure you don't get caught. Also I hope you have insurance. Honestly if you have insurance and do this, you could move to a new city. Hey a fresh start.
>>767843788
Drink a lot of water, exercise/walk daily, control your diet,habits, and routine
>>767844098
what kind of job did you get?
>>767843788
I can sort of relate to that. I'm afraid the only way for you to move forward out of that is to tie up and assrape whatever it is that's stopping you from enjoying your life the way you want it to, and watch it bleed to death from it's wounds. Figuratively speaking.
