i cant seem to find it in me to leave the house anymore, i moved into a new one and i dont have the will to leave anymore
it might be because of evey one telling me that i have no confdence. can anyone tell me how to move passed this? its been 3 mounths now and i think something is wrong and i dont wanna go to my frends about this,coz i think they will only laugh is there a number i can call or a web site?

Hi @alex42,

How are you going aside from not getting out of the house? It sounds like you'd like to speak to someone directly. Perhaps you could try speaking to someone at Lifeline 13 11 14. Kind wishes.

Hi @alex42, 

Its great that you reached out, as @Mazarita said lifeline is always a great option, then there is mens helpline who do both telephone (1300 78 99 78) and online counselling - click here

and i may be wrong but it sounds like you are experiencing anxiety? if so you could call Anxiety Recovery Centre Victoria (ARCVic) on 1300 269 438 and they can tell you what options are availiable to you, maybe they do telephone counselling? 

does anyone else have any ideas?

Hi @alex42

It's great to see a number of other members have made some great suggestions for telephone and web based support. I wonder whether @Jacques may be able to relate to your story somewhat, as he also  struggles with anxiety and leaving the house. He may be able to offer some further support and suggestions for you.

All the best,
Mosaic.
