I know this story all too well. The thing is, it is VERY hard to find the right professional to help you through. I think it would take a lot of time and persistance and I don't think doctors and therapists have the time for that with dealing with other patients. I was at the point where I couldn't go to the store by myself, but, in the black community, people don't know much about mental disorders and just deem you "crazy" so I had to force myself to sit through uncomfortable situations and live through every attack I had sitting in front of people. It was traumatic, but it definitely helped. I can do plenty on my own now, I just still don't appreciate dealing with human beings. They make me feel inferior when I shouldn't.

Anywho, we are very accepting and welcoming here. If nothing else, I hope you find some peace knowing you aren't alone in this battle.
