I can't go out by myself

Freckles

I can't leave the house by myself. The last time I did was probably in 2020 when lockdown was about.. I don't know how to fix this. I don't know what I'm scared of exactly but I hate this feeling.

One of my hobbies is photography but my social phobia has stopped me from leaving my house and I can't do that hobby often anymore. I don't have friends I can go out with, I don't have anybody who I am comfortable enough with to go out for walks with but that's not the point. I want to be able to go out by myself again and do my photography I just don't know how.

  • It's been a long time since I went out by myself. Before the falls I had in October 2021. I'd love to be able to go out to the cafe I used to have a cooked breakfast at, but I live further away from there than I used to. It would partially include downhill going and uphill coming back. I' d have to have someone with me, but it would be asking way too much of my family. Why? Because it would involve going so far with the stroller then sit down, go so far again with the stroller then sit  down etc etc . I get bad pain if upright for too long, whether moving or standing still.   I'm guessing  approx an hour to get there and an hour to get back. That's too much to expect my family to do.
