I have schizoaffective/bipolar and really bad anxiety as well. I'm similar with the social situations, once I'm talking to someone I'm okay but I have such a hard time leaving the house, I have anxiety just about sitting at the picnic bench a few feet away from my apartment. I've had times in my life where I'd stay inside for months. It has t been that bad lately but I still seriously struggle with leaving the house at all. And I want to. I want to be able to spend an hour or so out reading or going to do something but it's hard to actually do it
