Hey Billi,

I'm sorry you are going through this. I hardly go out either, but due to a different reason (SPD). I hope this doesn't sound harsh, Billi, but I think the only way you will be able to overcome this is to listen to your therapist and do your homework. Or at least doing SOMETHING out of your comfort zone. For you, phone calls appear to be an excellent example.

Hiding from our fears will not accomplish anything. We must confront them, no matter how scary it may be. One quote I really like is "Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain".

Remember to take things one day at a time, one step at a time. You can do it!
