Is it true that you can go crazy from being inside all the time? I'm a stay at home mom, and I never go anywhere. My husband works third shift, so he goes to the store and to bed when he gets home, and sleeps till about 8. By then I'm tired, and we just eat and watch tv and I play with our son. I can't drive because my car is messed up and his is a stick. I've tried to learn, I'm hopeless. :/ So basically, I sit here with my son from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon. We go outside some, but we live on a street with old people, and it's like they have radar on us or something. They literally surround my sons stroller! It's creepy. I'm starting to act different. I can tell I've become anti-social, I don't even like the phone anymore and usually turn it off. I'm extremely irritable and my husband and I fight a lot. I'm tired a lot, and I'm not motivated anymore when it comes to things like decorating or having guests over. Could this be because I'm "stir crazy"?

It's been over a year. My car is basically beyond repair, unfortunately.

"Stir crazy" is not a clinical term, but it is generally recognized that a dull routine with little change can cause some people to be depressed.

Yes, there is such a thing as being stir crazy. Lack of adult conversation, which you clearly need. Do you have any family or friends around?
