That's good you know what you need. Can you go back, to therapy?
Sorry you can't run, anymore.
I have had a bit of a hard time not doing so much weightlifting anymore, when I really used to enjoy that. I just can't access the equipment, here, unless I want to lift in a group work-y communal fashion and I really just don't. I can't immerse myself in the activity in an enjoyable way when I need to mind what other people are doing and involve myself in negotiating with them how much weight we have on the bar and who gets to lift it and when and whether people are going to step back out of the way or whether someone will throw a tantrum that they don't feel you are being properly supportive or...
It has been a bit hard for me to try and find something else, to take it's place in my life.
I'm thinking about swimming. The ocean. I will need a wetsuit, though, at least... Or... There is a warm pool for lengths... That might be nice for me. I think the ocean will be better since I could be more properly alone out there...
I wonder if I will start to feel more social if I have the personal space of my own house. I might...

What is it about going out that upsets you / gets you feeling nervous? Do you know? Or is it more a generalised sort of thing?
