Having a Harder Time Wanting to Leave House

I have been having a harder time wanting to leave the house lately and it's not because of coronavirus.

 

Last night, I went to pick up food at a restaurant and saw the waiters and waitresses at the bar laughing with one another and talking to customers and I started thinking there is no way I could do this job and that made me depressed and anxious and my night was much worse because of my spiraling thoughts.

 

Today, I went to the store to get some stuff, and it was packed because of the Corona stuff. I did not want to interact with the cashier at all or anybody at the store. It put me in a bad mood upon arriving at home.

 

It feels like I'm dealing with really bad social anxiety and intrusive thoughts now related to it. I don't remember it being this bad before but maybe it was worse than I thought. I'm really not sure what I can do at this point to make the mental suffering better after two years off these meds.

Well honestly that’s probably not a bad thing right now.....I feel the same and I think it’s a combo of the virus and withdrawal. No interest in going anywhere

I find Byron Katie to be really helpful and liberating for an easy way to examine my painful thoughts. Most of them unravel themselves, in time. Peace expands within me. In case you are looking for a tool. It's given me back so much of my life and sanity. https://thework.com

I’ve noticed my interest in socialising has gone down to zero. Like you most of the time I seem to be in a bad mood and I don’t know why. I just seem to want to be alone all the time and I never used to be like that. I still sometimes get invites to do something, and I’m always coming up with an excuse as to why I can’t go. I’m worried this is the new me.

Everyone’s anxious right now.
