So it's called isolation is it?

I too, find comfort in hiding away. especially when guests are over, sometimes in the middle of conversation I'll decide I'm uncomfortable and will go sit in my bedroom alone.

Your isolation seems much greater than mine, what with wanting to stay inside and not go out so much.

you know what you have to do, you stated that so theres proof you have control over this.

here's my suggestion to conquer the going out thing. are you able to go out more often with your husband? him, as a supportive partner could accompany you to go out. perhaps to another place that offers the comfort of isolation like a movie theater?

keep that up until the comfort starts to come back and then gradually move on to less isolated activities, like volunteering, going to a sport event or something like that?

well, that's my 2 cents, sorry if it's bad.
