• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Staying In, not leaving the house much

I've had a problem for years and years now. I don't get out much. Well, I guess I do and I don't. My problem is the fact that I'm tired of going out to places alone like I do, so I stay in. I try going to the mall, to the bookstore, grocery shopping, etc., and everytime I'm out I feel like people are looking at me funny and people (like the ones working in stores) don't at all appreciate my business.

I sit around the house a lot these days, because I don't really feel like I'm welcome anywhere. It hurts, and I have no idea where to go.

How about finding a hobby and join a group with like minded interests (bowling, bird watching, hiking etc) :)

Yeah, I like that idea. I tried meetup a few years ago but really felt left out. I probably shouldn't have given up, though. Thank you so much for your time and your response. God bless you.
