I have social anxiety and getting up to go to college and work everyday seems like a mission and a half. At college, I usually just attend my lectures and labs, if there's a break just sit in the library, don't really interact with people, and I really just look forward to getting home where I feel I belong.
Solutions? Not complete solutions, but little things have helped me change my perspective in getting out. I still feel it's hard but I kind of accepted it won't go away completely and that I'll have to fight it until it becomes easier. I do little things like, walking with my head up, looking around, taking different routes, stopping by different shops/places, sitting on the benches in the park and just take in the environment, try be excited for my lectures, fake a smile here and there.
I haven't really talked to anyone about it nor have I seen doctors mainly because I see progress. If I'm strongly committed to suicide, then at that point I will probably open up to someone.
Not sure we're in the exact same situation but I don't think it's completely different either :D
