    Yes, yes and yes. I'm feeling that way at the moment too. Home can seem to be a haven when you feel bad/anxious and alone. But, like you say, it can be a prison to. Take small steps. Start with just a nip down the shop or a walk around the block. May take all your effort to start with, but build on it gradually. Remember, you weren't always like this, so you can do it again.
