Scared to go outside

i really need some advice and i have been to the doctors and all the do is give me anti-depresants.

the thing is that i live like a hermit i only go out once a week to do my shopping, the rest of the time i stay cooped up in my house with my 2 1/2 year old daughter. i try to go out but everytime i am getting ready or about to step out the door something always stops me. the only reason i go out to do my shopping is because i know i have to. it is causing so much problems, my bf goes mad at me cause he can't get me to go anywhere and when he does this i just sink lower into the hole i have dug myself. i have started to think that i am not worth anything which puts thoughts into my head that i really don't want to have.

please if someone could give me some advice on how to get myself back out there. i don't know what else to do.

Advice

You should go back and see your GP and ask him / her to refer you for counselling. It sounds like you may be suffering from post natal depression.

You say the only reason you go shopping is because you have to. Why don't you take your daughter to the local park and tell yourself that you have to for your daughters sake. Spend some me time pampering yourself, for example, paint your nails, do your hair or treat yourself to some lovely body cream and just spend time grooming yourself.

Good luck you are not alone.
