It’s been five months for me, since the day after I graduated.

    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 ?

    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.

    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.

    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!

      People who don’t leave their home usually don’t have favorite parks

    Have to show up for work most days, but I also won’t deny that I’d be tempted to stay home for a couple of months if I worked remotely or were unemployed.

    Would you consider taking just a brief walk down the street and back? It ain’t much, but it’s honest work, and I’d be happy for you.
