https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/i-can-t-leave-my-house/m-p/442818#M34256 <P>Ive always had anxiety but recently I moved into an apartment building with my partner and the constant noise and all the people so close to me is too much. I am very scared of people and I can't leave my apartment. I can't even go out onto my balcony as I'm scared if people see me. I stay silent all day as I don't want them to hear me either. I don't know what to do about my situation. I'm scared to see doctors and I'm scared to talk to people or be in public. </P> <P>This has been going on a while and I've been worried to talk to anyone about it so I've kept it to myself. I feel like no one would want to help because I got myself here. </P> <P>Can anyone offer some advice on feeling more comfortable around people? Or on how to feel confident in public? </P> Tue, 03 Sep 2019 10:44:40 GMT Hello548 2019-09-03T10:44:40Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/i-can-t-leave-my-house/m-p/442818#M34256 <P>Ive always had anxiety but recently I moved into an apartment building with my partner and the constant noise and all the people so close to me is too much.
