Feeling Like a Shut In

    When you want or feel the need to dress allmost all the time but can't pass life gets to be lonely. 

    When I dress it means I can't go out the door. Evan when I go to great pains to look as good as I can. So if I put on a skirt or a dress I have to stay home & I am dressed all the time. I can't evan open my blinds because of kids out playing. I don't want to confuse them with things their not ready for. 

    This means no interaction with others. As time goes on it gets worse & worse. 

    I don't go out except to run small erronds. Sometimes I won't evan do that because I don't want to change.

    I live in a small condo so my nieghbors are close by & they notice that I don't go out. Sometimes my car won't move for days at a time. It also means I don't talk to others.

    Thats started another problem. Depression. So now I don't interact here any more because I have nothing to talk about except work since that's my only outlet. The one sister I'm close to doesn't seem to have time to talk much as her life is busy.

    So I guess it's my own fault that I feel this way. My shrink says to stop dressing so much. But than I'm not being me. So I don't know the answer.
