Unfortunately, unless someone has been where we are they cannot understand the hurt and frustration involved w/ being *scared* in situations like u just described. I did not leave my house(or bed for that matter) for about 1 year...the fear(social/general anxiety) kept me *locked* inside and that only brought on depression...so many people made things much worse by saying i could WILL my way through it...easier said than done! I have now (almost 3 years later) realized that although i still have pretty severe soc/gen anxiety, but it was a particular situation for me that brought on the year long episode. i'm not proud that i feel i have to take klonopin to even go to the grocery store but i do. have u ever heard the song by Allison Krauss-Ghost in this house(or something close to that)? I have so many cd's i cannot find it rt. this second but if u havn't heard it, try and download it and listen to it. It doesnt exactly pertain 100% to our situations but some of the similarities hit close to home.(it is a bit depressing so pls. dont listen to it if it will make u feel worse)! I do hope things get better for you. There is a big difference between *living life* and *exsisting in life*...for me it was/IS about getting intense counseling more so than meds. but every1 is diff.. I wish u only the best and just know that ur not alone(even though it seems that way). Take care.
