hello~ have you tried to visit a doctor? if you haven't please do try to talk about your anxiety or depression or more. And then explain what you've been through and what have you've been feeling. They will also explain to your parents about any mental illness you have, to try and make them understand you more. Also use your health insurance if you have it.
Hello there! I’m glad you’re at least making the effort to go on relaxing walks and such as well as searching for online/home based jobs! It’s a good place to start (づ￣ ³￣)づ Hopefully this story will have a good ending and perhaps inspire you to overcome your anxiety~~ You can do it! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Ex-shut-in and I get what you mean. I was "inside" for 7-ish years, still working on getting out out. Sometimes u just gotta ride it out. I made a conscious decision to change myself - it's hard as fuck but no one knows how tough it is even will yourself to get out the bed everyday.
Currently I am sitting in a crowded cafe - just trying to BE around other humans without collapsing. Do this everyday. Just go into a crowded area with my headphones in case things get over whelming but the trick is to be learn to be around people first. Exercise and change in diet is another thing - i don't mean "healthy" i mean actually spending time thinking what you want to eat today and making an effort to eat that thing. Find a friend u can talk to - not deep meaningful stuff, but like marvel movies or memes... Keeps ur thoughts lighter etc etc..
Small things... They help.
No, I can't really do that since I don't have any money to go to a doctor. And it's a bit of a taboo to my parents so I also can't ask them. I'm also jobless at the moment too, so i just cope with it myself.
Thanks, and I do hope they'd have a happy ending. ^^
When I go outside I also wear headphones so I won't be too overwhelmed and have a panic attack. I've been picking my cousin up to and from school. Still not used to being outside but with my cousin with me, it's a bit bearable. Since she's a kid we talk aboit silly stuff while walking.
Hmm then find an online counselling, I recommend you iCall. They have an email based counselling. And it's free. Also why not join a group of people who deals with any mental illness you have? discord might have one. Also good luck. I wish you and the others well I'm glad everyone is opening up about being a shut in.. in this manga. it really connects us all who have the same problem and help each other out(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
That's good. That's a start. Next try going to the school 15 mins early and try to make SMALL talk with other parents. Just simple hello to other people or smile. Don't overdo it but smiling and saying hello as u line up to get kids will ease u into being around other people. Or wave bye when you leave. That's it. No other interaction.
Yeah im a total shut in too till now still struggling to change my lifestyle
Wow thanks! I mighy just try that. ^^
welcome and goodluck(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
you can do et!
(I wanna put that meme gif here but I cant ;w;)
I really feel for Junwo, since I'm also a shut-in. It's so hard to find someone who would treat you like any normal human being. I'm currently job-hunting for online/home-based jobs because I don't want to leave the house. I'd only go outside if we're going outdoors like going to the beach, nature walking or a drive where there's less people. On my last years of college, I was planning to apply on a cruise ship but things happened which worsened my anxiety and pummeled my self-esteem to the ground. I couldn't come back up after that so I became a shut in. My parents tried to understand but couldn't and dealing with my anxiety whenever I try to go outside is exhausting as heck (since I pick my cousin up to and from school on the afternoon).
