Start at one end of your house and clean everything from top to bottom- throw away accumulated junk, drop unwanted items off at a charity depot, spring clean every floor, wall, shelf, skirting board, window and closet. Wash the curtains, quilts and floor matts. The fridge, the bathroom, the garage, the medicine cabinet, the yard. Clean out and clear away until you've covered every inch of your home environment and possessions.
Afterward, when you're standing in the middle of it all and it's all 100% done without having cut corners or left anything out, close your eyes and still yourself. In your mind, acknowledge all that you have left behind, stripped back and washed away. Banish that clutter and dust and grime forever. Drop it like a weight. Imagine yourself physically shaking it all off, like a wet dog after a bath! Delight in energy of this action and all of your expended effort. Smile on yourself for a job well done. Now, imagine yourself becoming lighter and lighter. Butterflies in your stomach as you all but float away, energized like a comet across the sky. Take all of this lovely energy, keep what you need for yourself and release any that is leftover into the clean space around you. Imagine it spreading out to each corner of your home to settle there, gently, shimmering on every surface and then dissipating to nothing. One final purification to out the old and herald the new.
When you're ready, get on with life and when you find yourself pondering what to do regarding the issues you mention in your post, you will see that the situation seems different to you now and trust that you will know what to do.
Be kind to your self, Swetha, and lighten your load.

So how do I start socializing again? It takes tremendous effort for me to be just able to talk on the phone. I am happy with my PC and books which isnt a very good sign.
