Hi CarolAnn-

I can totally empathize with not wanting to go out! I agree with Greg, though- I think it is probably not agoraphobia, but the lethargy and 'avoiding' that comes along with being depressed.

I withdrew so much that I started to have everything delivered! Groceries, you name it. We even have a service in my city that brings videos and a bunch of other stuff (like junk food!) right to your door. It really contributed to my depression by allowing me to hole-up at home, and isolation is one thing that really hurts you in depression.

I really feel for you. I can barely take care of myself when I am depressed... I don't know how you do it, having a toddler. My heart goes out to you. At least the weather is getting nicer and everything is blooming, (well- here in the US), maybe you will enjoy short walks with the kiddo to a nice park or something?

Please try to get out a little bit. Sometimes somthing small happens along the way to make your whole day brighter : )

I know it's hard. But hang in there! Let us know what happens : )

Shelley
