I am lucky enough to have a group of friends that invite me out, but these past few years i have been isolating myself and find excuses to stay home.

It’s my friends birthday they’re celebrating this weekend and I hung out with a couple friends yesterday and they wanted to go out tonight too. I made an excuse because after work I want to relax at home.

The thought of going out often gives me anxiety. I honestly want to meet new people and hopefully have a girlfriend again one day but with my depression and constant anxiety it makes it difficult. I can’t even eat out with friends anymore for some reason.

I don’t know what to do anymore. Does anyone feel similar or have any advice?
