It took me a week to go a few blocks to the bank to get a form for my insurance i had no energy to go.

I have felt the same too. I think for me it was the depression that made me scared to do anything other then what I was familiar with going out of the house and doing and blew up every little event into something stressful and gave me anxiety. Or it was the fatigue, lack of concentration, and agitation which made it hard to socialize and do pretty much just about anything for anything length of time. But I found for myself if I pushed myself to get out and be around people that cared for me and do activities that once gave me joy it really helped a lot with the depression and motivated me get out more and do more then what I use to do.

Glen -- I'm glad 2 hear that from you super encouraging ! But stay calm-- unfortunately each depressive episode 4 myself anyway I have noticed the first thing to surface wud b anxiety- this u must just allow to b- depending on meds also

Hi Glenn ...
This For Me, Is A ‘Humungous’ Problem For Me Too ...
I Haven’t Left The House For Approx 4 Years, Due To ‘Agoraphobia’, Which All Started Because Of Anxiety, Panic Attack’s, Claustrophobia, Social Anxiety, Scared Of Being In Open Places, Overwhelming Fear Which I Couldn’t Control / Explain, Being Out Of My ‘Safety-Zone’, Irrational Thoughts, An Overload Of Frightening ‘Darkness’ Within My Mind, Deep Depression Plus, So, So Much More Too, Along The Way ...
Now, Even When The ‘Doc’ Is Coming To The House, For Days Before Hand, I Get Really Scared, Anxious, Panicky And Have ‘Cancelled’, Too Many Times To Count ...
Even When I ‘Allow’ The Appointment To Go Ahead, Again Days Before (Sometimes Weeks, Depending Upon How Long It’s Going To Be, For The Appointment To Happen), The Horrendous Thoughts Start, Overwhelming Every Part Of Me, The Insomnia (Which I Suffer From Anyway) Intensifies, Panic Sets In, Suffer Extreme Anxiety Attacks Etc Etc Etc...
After The Appointment, Im Literally Exhausted, Emotional, Wiped Out Etc, Which Lasts For Days Too So ...
It’s Like When The ‘Phone’ Rings Or, The ‘Doorbell’ Goes, I Panic, Start Sweating, Literally Shake, Get Scared / Peteified, Anxiety Crushes Me, The Irrational Overwhelming Thoughts / Feelings, Kick In ‘Big-Time’, All Within ‘Seconds’, I ‘Know’, I Should Answer But, I Can’t So ... I Don’t ...
I Mean, ‘WTF’ ?? ...
How ‘Irrational’ Does That Sound, Again To Somebody ‘Normal’ ?? ...
Yeah, ‘Crazy’, Which Is A Word, That’s Been Used To Describe Me, ‘All’ Of My Life But, They Don’t ‘Understand’, No Matter How Many Times, I’ve Tried To Explain ‘ME’, They Just, ‘Don’t Get-It’, Or Me But ...
To Be Honest, I Thought I Was The Only Person, Who Felt This Way And If My ‘Rational’ Side Worked, I’d Say I Was ‘Crazy’, Yet That’s The Problem, There Is ‘Nothing’ Rational About Me, Due To The ‘Many’ Mental Health Problems I’ve Suffered / Still Suffer From, Since Being A Child, When ‘Their’ (Parents / Medical Proffesionals) Answer Was, To ‘Place’ Me Into, A ‘Child Psychiatric Unit’ (Locked-In - Heavily Medicated - Day Patient) For ‘Many’ Years ...
Only Things I ‘Learned’ There, Were How To Make Jam Sandwiches And ‘Peel’ An Orange Correctly ‼️ ...
My Brain, Thoughts, Feelings, Experiences, Traumas, Perception Etc, Aren’t ‘Normal’, Whatever ‘Normal’ Is ? ? ...
All I Know, It’s Certainly ‘Not’ Me ...
I’m Sorry, As I Have No ‘Solutions’ For You Or, Even Answers, Just How I Feel, About The Question You Asked But, I Hope In Some Small Way, I’ve Helped, Even ‘IF’, I Don’t Know ‘How’ ...
If You Ever Need Or Want To Talk Glenn, Im Always Here For You, No Matter What It’s About My Friend ...
Sending Much Love N Big, Yet Soft Gentle Hugs ... Trish xx ❣️

There are days I am too anxious to leave my home.
