I'm not sure I agree with your calling yourself a shut-in. Guess I have a different definition in my head of what that term means. But, imagine being a 'shut-in' without friends, parents, relatives to rely on. I'm certainly not making light of your situation in any way. Trying to give you a bigger picture of how it is for many people. When no one else is going to get that food, or whatever, for you, imagine the anxiety of knowing you MUST get out there at some point and do it yourself. This is just the perspective of someone who has major depression and severe social anxiety but, must deal with every day life alone. I hope you can at least enjoy the holidays. I don't pay any attention to them anymore.
