Is Isolating yourself really dangerous?

Question

Just depressed and have bad anxiety when it comes to going outside. I am seeking therapy; but I am feeling that I am being rushed by my therapist and counselor to stop isolating myself, and to get outside.  I want to go outside; but I am afraid to; because I don't trust people nowadays; I been hurt by people in the past, and I am not ready to take that step outside yet.  10 points issued for the best answer.  How dangerous is isolating yourself?  can it worsen?  trust me I don't want to let it get worse.  I been isolating myself since 2010, and I am taking all the steps and measures to heal from this, so please no abusive answers!!!!!

I also suffered from anxiety. and i would say the best thing to do is tell your counselor that him/her is rushing you he only making it feel worse. Also try to work little by little on getting better.

I'm in the same situation as yourself. It really is dangerous, if you value your social life. After 2 years of isolating myself and living with my anxiety/depression, I feel like I'm behind my whole social crew. It's like I got left behind, and they moved on in life. Just force yourself to get out and do your thing, no matter how awkward it feels. The only way to beat this disease is to ignore it and don't feed it by isolating youself.

I wouldnt say it was dangerous but it isnt healthy for instance not going out will mean lack of exercise. Its unhealthy in that aspect and also that it wont help you overcome your lack of trust as you arent meeting people or communicating but i wouldnt say it was dangerous as i said just unhealthy at most. These things cant be rushed though. Hope it gets better :)
