Struggling with therapy/social prescribing homework (social situations mentioned)

I’ve been given homework by both Talking Therapies and Social Prescribing. I find it very difficult to start, and even harder to finish.

Part of my agreement with Social Prescribing was to try attending a low-stakes art class at a community space called the Hub. I couldn’t even make it through the door and ended up just sitting outside.

I’ve also tried multiple times to join a Ramblers wellbeing group, but each time I wasn’t able to go through with it.

The social side of the homework is where I get stuck, especially when it involves being around people I don’t know.

  • I appreciate the ideas. For me though, phoning organisers or arranging to meet someone feels beyond what I can manage right now. I also don’t have anyone who could come along with me. Even arriving early would still be difficult, as it’s the social side itself that I struggle with most.
