Hi, Maria
I know how you feel about being invisible...an I do not understand what you mean about looking out the window or door all the time. What is the significance of that gesture?
I am empathetic and have to agree that it is boring. What do you do to pass the time? Hobbies, work at home, artist TV , please explain more???Do you live alone?
I live alone and am disabled in the spine from a drunk driver on drugs. Hs truck hit me in the rear at a stop sign. He gppt three years and I got the life sentence. So I am in a hospital bed and get up and do chores and get back in. I was looking for some creative way to pass time.
Isn't there someone who can come and take you out, a little at a time? That is how I got over my driving phobia. I would go a tiny distance and come home. Each successive time, I would go a little ****her. I also gained some confidence back. If I lived near yiu I would help with this. Where do you live? I am in SC.
Doesn't your dr give you sessions, group? Only meds? What?
I do not want you to think I am being pushy..ut I think it is important that you get the very best care there is out there. y PhD, is always lending me reading material, giving me workbooks, etc. uI have been going for 7 years , since my 3rd back surgery from the wreck. I wanted you to know so we could share info.

Maria,
I too, am divorced...3 times..I had the bad habit of always picking the same kind of man...but NO MORE> I found out what was doing this..I was a "victim". That is, I thought in the victim mentality, and acted as such. I had a target on my back.
Not any more. I have better self esteem, I workex dthru with "shrink"

Maria,
Does your dr.know you are exercising with a MVP?
I got Pericarditis from a flu shot, and now have to take antibiotics before DDS and certain procedures.
I think you could look this up on the Inet...

Hi again, Mr. Bubble,
It sounds like an identical description of my life..I had to do the driving de-sensitization because of this horrible car accident. But the social aspect has been OK for many years. I got over that when I was in my 20's and I think something snapped inside and I was able to look everyone in the eye. I think I go tired of feeling like I was a second class citizen, so to speak. I was real bad as achild, his under my Mothers' skirt when introduced to someone until age 1. Bad stuff..and like back theen it was not accepted to seek mental help. You just didn't do it, mention it or even entertain the thought.
You are in the right place for support, but nothing takes the place of a doctor.
Getting back to driving...after a while of driving and my confidence was being built up..I started to get aggressive..cuss out the bad drivers, but never drove like they did. I would drop back or acelerate to a spot in the road where they was little traffic. I like to stay out of harms' way.
Why do you have trouble still meeting people?.
Panis wise? Do you think that being wsell rested and not stressed makes it easier to do the "going out" things?
I do not drive if I fel panicky.

Dear Maria,
This is a very good question as it poses food for thought.
Are we in control of our fears?
Will you kill the fear by doing what you fear most?
Each one of us has to do this....
