I have a fear/don't want to leave my house?!


Question: I have a fear/don't want to leave my house?
The thing is I like to eat food to comfort myself as well. I don't look fat or anything but I feel it and I can see it even when other people I don't. I'm afraid to go out in public. I have a boyfriend but I can't explain this to him because he wouldn't understand I don't think. And I can't not leave the house because I have classes and am in college.

Answers:

I don't know what your question is, but it sounds like you have social phobia or agoraphobia (fear of open spaces.) See the counselor at your college. I don't know about yours, but at mine it was free to see the counselor. If they can't help you, they can recommend someone who can. You don't have to live that way...I have social phobia and I know how much it stinks.



why are you afraid to go out in public?people go out in public everyday.i am not sure what it is you are afraid of. but life is full of chances.sure nobody should take any kind of crazy chances, but you gotta take some chances in life or your just not living.i am not trying criticize you. i just don't understand what you are so afraid of.



My aunt has the same problem. Definitely get therapy. There's nothing to be ashamed of in talking to a therapist.
