Hi, I feel the same, it's horrible I have been like this for about 5 years, but I went from never leaving my house to getting out for walks now, though I do still really struggle, I get help from my local MH team which is good, they taught me to break things down in smaller pieces, I started going out for a walk just round my block, that would take about 2 minutes to do, now I am averaging about stay out for about 1 hour, its just trying to build your confidence to getting back outside, take your time, go at your own pace and remember be kind to yourself
