I deon' know if you tried talking to a psychiatrist about possibly going on medication for your anxiety or not, but I found it's helped me enourmously. As I said In my latest post, I don't think I would be able to cope without my other vices if I was off my meds. As for isolation, it's been a real problem for me in the past. And I still tend to avoid people if I can, though my job forces me to be in the public eye, so it's helped a bit, but it does get tiresome as i'm not really the outgoing type.
