I have never gone outside my house for any reason because I had no friends. But I am considering it because I am so lonely. Should I go?
Do you think it's normal?

Hi my name is Tracy I used to be just like you.When I was 13 to about 14 I had no freinds, I was bullied at school,and I was very depressed.I used to run home from school and I had this reclining chair. And I would get inside it and put a cover over it.It was like my private place where I could go and nobody could bother me. I even had a radio in it and it was covering an air conditioning that was in the window.I would daydream in it about the life I wanted.Anyway I would lay there wishing I had someone to talk to.I went to a State hospital for depression and started taking medicine.It really helped.Before I used to be so scared to go outside when I had to go somewhere I would this grey hoody and hide my face.I thought I was ugly.But now i'm 19 and I think it was stupid of me to have been like that because I missed out on a lot of my teenage life.I'm a waitress at Sonic now and have a 1 month old son.And i'm not depressed like I used to be.And sometimes when I start to get that scared feeling when i'm out somewhere I just remeber to tell myself that it's okay and nobody is here to hurt me.They're just shopping like me.Please whoever you are dont wast your time being depressed let whatever is bothering you go.Remember God loves you and whatever happens in life happens for a reason. The good and the bad. God will always be there for you through the good and bad.Even though you might not think so sometimes he's right there watching over you waiting for you to ask for help.He'll always be there for you, so will your loved ones in heaven.Remember "footprints"A man asks God I see you were always there for me through the good times,I always saw two pairs of footprints,mine and yours but through my trials of suffering and sorrow I only saw one set of footprints.Why he asks God. why when I was suffering the most did you abandon me.My sweet child God replies.When you only saw one pair of footprints it was then that I carried you.Always remember that and know that If you think nobody cares about you God does.When I started to go outside it was hard at first.Just go and take a long relaxing bath and try to practice at first.You can go sit on your back porch for a while and as you start to feel more comfortable try going to the front.And slowly you'll be able to even face the grocery store.That was the scariest part for me but you'll get through it.Just remember if your always afaid of doing the things your scared of you'll miss out on the best part of your life.Congradulations and good Luck. Remember God loves you.
LMAO, that's great!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............wait what?
same thing happened to me a few years ago. had no reason to go out for nearly 4 years. really fucked me up, got agoraphobia, you probably have that a bit too. but go out, as soon as possible, things are much better with friends and being outside.
DONT!!!

its a dangerous world out there!!
becareful the world is a cold fukkin place
How old are you!? I think you are kidding. Unless you are an insest child who's parents wont let you out of the house because they are so embarassed of you and they have kept you a secret for a number of years and everybody thinks that they live together because your uncle couldnt get a house but him and your mother are actually madly in love and keep having unprotected sex and out comes a whole bunch of kids like you. You know what? I am just being really, really stupid.
@: Ashtony
that honestly happens to people? O_o
yeah, i know a guy like that are you J.E?
Go outside, people are mostly good. Meet new people, make friends, go to parties, see a baseball game, see a movie, see a play. All things you should do, just don't become a Red Sox fan. Everyone posting comments here is a real person, we don't seem so bad do we, no of course we don't. Remember, every day is a new day, that will never happen again, so grab life by the horns, and make the most of it. Or at least by some extra cable packages, a bunch of game systems, and start playing world of war craft. Just kidding, go out there, and enjoy yourself, the world is a beautiful place.
how old are you? if you're older than...if your a fetus, that's okay. but seriously, how old are you?
lol u guys are weak im 22 and have been at my computer on the internet 24/7 since the age of 15. I dropped school never had a friend went on government assistance at 17 to rent a small room in a rooming house broke off contact with my parents.

I know how you feel and the only advise I can offer you is what worked for me: see a therapist. You'll be much happier!

Get help.
Go, and don't look back!
