Bonnie:
This sounds like depression to me, too, but keep in mind that some of us, me definitely!!, are naturally shy as well. I have only a few good friends instead of many acquaintances, and I now realize that is actually a good thing.
Forcing yourself out when you really don't want to go has never worked for me. Maybe it does for those who don't have the double whammy - depression and shyness.
I would consider the support group you mentioned - you might find someone you enjoy being with there. Or a church - folks tend to be welcoming there.
I agree with Greg - your hubby doesn't understand what's going on. It took mine @9 years to get it. He can always go out by himself. I'm doing that now that I feel better.
Good luck. It does sound as if you'd benefit from more/different meds.
