A few hours. My employer feels it’s important that I sit in front on my computer in their building, rather than in my home.

It’s been a few days and that was just going somewhere with my family as my Mum is looking for old magazine for inspiration for sewing. She thought it be better than just trying do out a pin board on Pinterest as she felt she needs to know what she is roughly looking for in the first place compared just flipping through the magazines.

But just want to say as someone that also suffer with depression, I do feel you that it is difficult to leave the house. I find for me, trying find clubs or activities neary area did help a bit of getting me outside a little bit.

If youre destined for the basement life, live it. Dont let these haters take away what joy you can find during this painful life we are all forced into.

Just be sure to do what you can to take care of yourself.

Look up body weight exercises you can do inside without equipment. And you dont even have to set aside time if you do them while you’re waiting for something. Microwaving food? 4 minutes of push-ups or planks. Got a few minutes while your game loads or something? Stretch. Little things can add up.

If you you drink or take drugs, make sure you drink your homework water and to give yourself time to recover before partying more.

Dont wanna diet? Fine, but make one meal healthy like a salad or oatmeal so your chimkin nuggies pass through your body within a week.

Or don’t. Its your life. Youre in charge. Do whatever

I am sorry for you OP that you have to go through this. I hope that you’re followed by a mental health professional which can help you. 5 month without leaving the house is entering in the hikikomori territory. I wish I could give you relevant advices, but I assume all the simple advise simply won’t work (Just like you can’t just tell someone with a broken leg to keep running)

If you get better and can go out again, what do you wish to do ? Is there a sport/hobby you want to try ? Is it available in your city ? is there a language you want to learn ?

Yesterday. I work Monday-fri

Literally how? I leave the house and I don’t even have any place to go.

Bruh. Why are you doing this? Severe vitamin D deficiency will make you wish for death. You legitimately NEED sunlight on your skin…

How do you get groceries? How do you make money?

Yesterday?

When the UK supreme court released it’s ruling on trans rights I basically was too scared/depressed to leave the house for a month.

Two weeks. Been sick as a dog with a brutal cold/flu/COVID(?).

Yesterday, and only because I didn’t feel so good today

You should go outside for a walk or something

I was the same and have suffered to some extent since. In 2008 I was made redundant from my job of 15 years and couldn’t leave the house for the best part of the year.

most recently, i left the apartment to take the trash down to the dumpster this afternoon.

I go outside and walkies because the meat husk needs it or something. So I went outside this morning for that.

Do me a favor: go to what was once (or still is) your favorite park and take a cool photo. Using your phone is fine, but I want you to take a few minutes to find a cool subject/perspective/composition combination. Maybe consider coming back if the sun isn’t at the best angle when you go there the first time.

Show me what you come up with!
