How long do you think you can stay indoors?

I've no problem with being indoors for days on end, not working at the moment and living somewhere I dislike intensely, nowadays you can shop online etc so there's no need to go out and do it, one can even get a barber to visit if one has to. How long do you think you can do an ''Ecuadorean Embassy'', I reckon a month to six weeks for me. I reckon the introverts can handle this easier.

I can't even stay inside for a full weekend without getting cabin fever.

Internet = a Month

No Internet = An Hour

That's depressing. I wish I worked outdoors. Far better for my head.

The Moldy Gowl · 14-04-2015 05:25PM

Really depends on what you're doing.

I could easily go months no bother if I had all my supplies. Coffee/tea/few bag of cans and food. Then maybe a good few long games to play on Xbox and a load of movies or tv shows to watch, internet, boards and reddit to while away the day collecting karma and thanks

Or maybe I'm fooling myself. Never had to do it or be unemployed for a long time so I take my days off for granted.
I would probably get crippling depression after week 2. (I'm assuming you are in no contact with anyone)

Indefinitely as long as the offo delivers and my ma is still around to run errands for me and the Internet is going.

Easy

At most I'd say a month(gotta get the Child Benefit). The longest I have stayed is a week and a half(I have anxiety problems and my house is my "safe space").

On the dole atm so, leave house once a week to collect money do a week shop. As I have little left after the mortgage and bills I usally don't leave till next week.

When the weather was fine like last week I sit in the garden with my tablet and garden a bit. Those days are really nice, sit outside read and smoke a joint with a cup of coffee or a beer. When wet it's mostly indoors so not as nice.

Just Be Yourself · 14-04-2015 05:32PM

I often wonder how shut ins and loners survived without the internet. Also I guarantee far more men then women will admit to having no problem with staying in all day in this thread.

Macavity. · 14-04-2015 05:35PM

If I had all my supplies brought to me then a couple of months I guess.

Grow my own and brew my own beer, too expensive otherwise

Did it for ten days once and didn't feel right at all. Couldn't concentrate, sleeping badly, bad mood. Went for a walk and felt like I was mildly tripping, sensory overload of wide open spaces, trees, outdoor sounds and so on was very noticeable. Wouldn't do it again, but wouldn't think anything of doing two or three days, do that regularly.

galljga1 · 14-04-2015 05:42PM

Went outside once.
Didn't like it.

Mister Vain · 14-04-2015 05:44PM

I did it for a month when I was sick. I felt like I was institutionalized.

The Backwards Man · 14-04-2015 05:48PM

Stay indoors?!!
Pray speak quietly, every noise you make is exquisite agony to my ears.

Vowel Movement · 14-04-2015 05:49PM

Not very long. I love the outdoors

BetterThanThou · 15-04-2015 12:55AM

2 days most I'd say, unless I had some company. Don't have any issue with staying in, but I do have a need to socialize, I'm sure I'd easily be able to go for a few weeks if I had a good friend to keep me company, ample supplies and decent entertainment, but without socialization, I'd get incredibly bored, depressed and lonely after 2 days maximum, I very rarely go even one day without leaving the house for at least an hour or two.

Chevolution · 15-04-2015 01:02AM

Ages, outdoors is just like an xbox game except with worse graphics.

Mint Aero · 15-04-2015 01:38AM

Are we allowed out to the shed?

that's where my weights are.

eeeee · 15-04-2015 01:43AM

1 day. I go weird after a day inside so I rarely do it. Have to get out!

madmaggie · 15-04-2015 01:48AM

Stuck in hospital for a week a few years back. I missed the fresh air, sun on my skin, even the feeling of rain. The dry air conditioned room made me crave the outdoors.

FloatingVoter · 15-04-2015 01:48AM

....until the beer runs out.

Lau2976 · 15-04-2015 02:21AM

I'd go crazy after day 2. I'm self employed and work from home so I can understand how logistically difficult it can be sometimes to get out but I think it's really important for your own morale to get out nearly every day.

TheBrinch · 15-04-2015 03:26AM

I leave the house about once a week and it doesn't impact me that much anymore. However some days I will try to find any excuse to leave.

DivingDuck · 15-04-2015 03:31AM

Some years ago, an injury left me close to bedridden for about three months. I was completely fine initially, but around the six-week mark it began to wear, and about the two-month mark, I came close to actual depression. I was quite glad when I was able to get about again.

I think that was more about not being able to exercise, though. I feel if I had been able to use an indoor bike or something I wouldn't have had a problem. So long as I have books and the internet, I'm quite happy to hole up at home for long periods.

A lot depends on the environment. I get fed up in cars or on planes very quickly, but so long as I have room to stretch out and a bit of peace and quiet, I'm grand.

Thats cool,
I also went inside once...
Also didnt like it...

LadyAthame · 15-04-2015 04:19AM

Not long that's for sure. I can't sit still long at all. Not that I have this crazy life. I disagree about it being easier for introverts.

_Kaiser_ · 15-04-2015 07:32AM

I regularly have lazy weekends where I might not set foot outside the door between Friday night and Monday morning. I have a very early start during the week and a 50 minute commute (each way) with occasional conference calls in the evening, so there are times after all that when I want do do feck all except eat, watch some TV, read Boards/play games. Every 2nd weekend is pretty busy anyway so I enjoy the break when I can get it.

Menas · 15-04-2015 07:49AM

I would go loo laa if I stayed in side for too long. I need to be out there getting light exercise and chatting to real people. Fresh air and some daylight on my skin. People watching.
I reckon if I was house bound for any period of time I would get massively depressed.

How long do you think you can stay indoors?
