That;s how I feel sometimes, paralyzed by fear, afraid of people, afraid of the phone ringing, don't even know the last time i talked on the phone, my mode of transportation is the bus now that I gave up my car ,and I really weigh heavily whether what I need from the store is actually worth waiting for the bus and taking the trip, I just seem to be getting more and more phobias, for the first month and half living here I was doing fairly well then one night I tried to take a walk and for some reason there were more residents outside hanging out and talking and I sort of freaked and had to come back home ,going out for my daily walks is becoming increasingly difficult. Trying to get courage to call a counseling office I found on one of my walks and so far have not been able to make that phone call. There is a lot I need to do like get my Colorado ID so I can get some health care insurance and maybe food stamps, Im definitely taking baby steps that's for sure but I am a little mad at myself for being this way and frustrated and agitated, it never completely goes away after years of help and different meds. Grrrr, sorry needed to vent, have a great day all, HUGS.
