i have suffered from anxiety on and off for years, and unfortunately it has decided to rear its ugly head again, just when
i was about to step outside my shell and start making a whole lot of, hopefully, new friends.
i had a baby, not so long ago. gave up my job to become a stay at home mom and wife. the wife part fell through, when the
marriage did. now i am just a stay at home mother, with no circle of friends.
it's hard for me to put myself out there. i am an introvert, and it's even harder when the anxiety flairs up. i know i need to
get out there, not only for me, but my daughter as well.
i also would love to start dating again, but once again, anxiety and no way (or idea of places to start looking)
of meeting prospective gentleman suitors, stands in my way.
as my parents keep saying "THEY WON'T COME TO YOUR DOOR, YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO OUT
AND MEET THEM"
more's the pity
