It is a very important step that you are taking action now, congratulations!
Many people can relate to your story. Especially for young people moving out, getting a job, going to a new city etc. it can be very challenging. It sometimes seems that you always have to be pushing yourself. But the truth is it does get easier. With some work panic does not have to hold you back. You have come to the right place.
Have you started working your way through the program? You will find it to be a big help. Reading over the forums will also benefit you. You will get some tips on how to "reprogram" yourself. In a way it is simply retraining your mind. Trying to think positively and recognizing irrational thoughts. Keep posting and working your way through the program. You will find the way!
I've been avoiding all sorts of situations since I was maybe 10 years old. It wasn't until I was almost 18 that I REALLY understood how much it restricted me. But even then I didn't take much action, and know when I find it hard to find a new job (finished college, moved to new town, no friends, nothing to do etc) I just have to try something otherwise I will end up depressed and (even more) alone.
I do worry about the fact that I've been behaving like this for over 10 years = how do you reprogram yourself when there's so much to reprogram.
Either way, I hope TPC will help me in the right direction! :)
