recluse needs help understanding newly social anxiety
I use to be a super social light. Loved going out with friends and parties, always had jobs that made me social (waitress, makeup artist, door to door sales etc). About 3 1/2 years ago I started going recluse (stay at home mom) just not going out like that. Now 1 1/2 years I’m a staying home and pretty much only leave the house for grocery shopping , maybe slight shopping here and there , or to my sons therapy (almost 4 year old boy). I use to be nervous of people judging me but not I freeze up. Like I can talk to the cashier fine lol but I get super overwhelmed, now I dread going to the grocery store I try to get everything so I can post pone going again for a while (1 week). I’m not sure why I feel this way. My house is super calming to me , I feel safe and it’s like a constant big hug or wearing your favorite hoodie. I’m 25 in a week and pretty much if I wake up and know I have to leave my house that day to do something I just dread it. I’ll try to find a way to push it off another day or finding if it’s really a priority etc. anyone else go from being social and not caring to literally just feeling like staying home all the time ? #aniexty #BPD #SocialAnxiety #Recluse #Homebody #GettingHelp
