Re: How to stop being a shut-in bum?

What helped me was getting into the habit of looking at all my options and coming up with back-up plans for whatever I decided to do. I needed to fight the impulse to look at one failure and decide that's it, everything's ruined forever. The important thing is to look at the back-up plans as real, viable options that don't make me worth less than the original plan would have.

Working on fighting an all-or-nothing attitude helped too. I try to acknowledge any successes, no matter how small, and not guilt myself for not doing more. Small steps are worth something. You can start with just one thing and use that success to motivate others. Maybe you could start with finding a reason to leave the house every day.

I relate to this a lot but I'm having trouble putting my thoughts together into something helpful. So I'll stop here and just say that I hope you find a way to break out of this.

Also, I know that "lagging behind my peers" feeling incredibly well, but really there's no proper timeline that everyone needs to follow or else be a failure. I'm in classes with people of all different ages right now. There's nothing shameful about having some problems and going more slowly than other people.
