u/No_name_mysterious

about 3 weeks ago I started having a depressive episode. I feel somewhat fine now but I haven't gone outside for 2 weeks. I refuse to go to school because I don't wanna go outside. not because I'm lazy but because I feel so scared. there was this man who I had a really confusing relationship with. we had an incident that I can never forget. and after that I get so paranoid when I go outside. because he lives close to me and I feel like I could meet him any moment and I don't want that. lately it's been getting worse. I get so scared. I don't wanna go outside. I might get kidnapped or hurt. I feel so scared. how to I get the courage to go outside again?
