I NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE

This has been going on for around two or three years now.
I have come to the point where I barely leave the house. I has become normal for me to not go anywhere. I don't even go in the garden. I never tell anyone, and have even pretended that I do things, really I get dh to do nearly everything. I maybe go out once a week, but will avoid that if I can.
The mothers at my ds's school have even asked my dh if he is a single parent! I only go out if it is something I can not escape, such as to sort out my ds's i.e.p or statements of sen.
I hate even answering the door.
I know this is not normal, and I want ot take my children out more, it is becoming a problem. I just don't know how to find help, or how to approach my gp.

Admitting that you are struggling is the first step. Could your Dh take you to the GP's?

Why do you not go out?
Could you get your GP to do a home visit?

(I grew up with an agraphobic mother)

you can write to your GP and ask them to telephone you?

Deeja are you ok?
Sorry my post was a bit abrupt!

The writing is a good idea (I seem to lose all powers of speech/reason when stressed)
