Are you doing that?

Bump!

When you've answered the question, I suggest adding "so why am I not doing that?", if only to yourself. Might give you a little kick to do/get what you need.

My deep feelings of loneliness would improve if I made myself leave the house.

So why am I not doing that?

I have a lot of issues with social anxiety, to the point where even going to the shop is a big deal. I feel like everybody is laughing at me and judging me negatively, even though rationally I know that they have their own things to worry about.

I am going to get out tomorrow, because I am so lonely I feel sick to the very core of myself. I will get everything ready this evening, so I have no excuse not to do it in the morning.

I was so impressed to see that you're planning to go out, despite your fears and anxiety. I think doing something when you're that scared is one of the bravest things you can do. I hope you managed to and that it helped.

My feelings of self-loathing would improve if I did something to make me feel good about my own body.
My feelings of inadequacy would improve if I listened more to the friends who supported me, and binned the ones that antagonise me.

my feelings of anxiety and restlessness would improve if i got ready to go out and then found something useful to do in the 45mins before i have to leave.

...why am i not doing that?
1. i feel like i have too many things to do so i can't concentrate on one. what i can do: add to and double-check my todo list then pick one of those things to do.
2. i feel like i'm going to do badly, fail, lose my momentum and hope, fall back down into depression, if i really try and make my business idea work. what i can do: get other people's perspective and advice, figure out contingency plans if i run out of money or everything goes horribly wrong.

How are things going now? Did you act on your to-do list?

My "worthless" feelings might improve if I call R tomorrow and get some honest feedback. I doubt it will be worse than my thoughts and anticipations.
