Is it normal that i fear being seen outside?

I have suffered from an eating disorder since I was 15. I've grown better over the years, but recently I've relapsed. The things is, every time I start back up again, I avoid going outside. I fear that I look fat, especially to people that know how I usually look - slim. I fear going outside so much that I make up measly reasons to avoid my social responsibilities. I know its pathetic, but how should I overcome this fear?

  • Stop looking in mirrors. I may not know how you look but you must be attractive. Keep telling yourself this. The only person that opinion you should matter about how you look is yourself. Hope you realize your beauty and have the confidence to walk outside.

    It's a true thing. If people see you outside you're destined to die. Check it: What do all dead people have in common? They were all seen, yo.

    So to live forever, all you have to do is shut the blinds and never let another soul set their eyes on you.
