How can I get over my anxiety about baby crying in public?

I’m 3 months into maternity leave and started struggling a lot with boredom lately. Love my little one but most of our days are so monotonous, especially now when the weather’s been shit for a few weeks and we don’t even go out for walks. All we do is stay inside and wait for bf to come home in the evening basically…

One of my biggest problems aside from the weather (lol) is that I’m extremely anxious about going anywhere with the baby on my own. Whenever he starts fussing or crying in public I just want to disappear, it’s hard to explain but it’s like my body goes into panic mode. So I can’t bring myself to go anywhere with him without my bf also coming along, but of course I know that it would do us good to get out of the house during the days. Any tips on how to deal with my feelings/reaction to the baby crying when we’re out and about?

You should join a "mommy and me" class in your area! Baby can fuss and everyone's in the same boat, and you can meet other moms with babies in the same age range and possibly make friends :) might be a good way to rip the bandaid off of going out.
