I struggle with this in waves, it seems. When I'm well enough, I tend to overcompensate and get out and about too much.

Some of the social anxiety I know will pass. A great deal of it is how sensitive I am in crowds or large confined places, like grocery stores or shopping malls. To be honest, several days a week, I only leave the apartment to take out the garbage and retrieve the mail.

I finally stopped beating myself up about it. Moods and emotional states change. Medication can only do so much. I have bashed myself for years over not "improving" and now have decided that I do the best I can when I can.

The best curative for me - to prepare me to be among other people, is to spend some quiet time in nature. A backyard is fine. I happen to live next to a beautiful trail and river. Quietly I will creep down and sit on some rocks. It helps me.
