i thought about that. my counselor and psychtr were a couple that recently retired. i thought...'that was it, i won't live much longer on my own' . i've tried the hermit thing. i was just as miserable as being in the public. now i'm trying to talk to people who cn't see me, or who don't know me..to me a safe place. i found a counselor who is very helpful. the doctor hunt took longer...and the 1st choice was a looser. i keep thinking one day i'll give up...but today isn't that day.
