Hi, Sassy! I'm new here, too, and I'm 'so' glad you posted because I thought "Oh, thank goodness, someone else sounds like me!" I'm BP I of 25 years, OCD, and agoraphobic with panic attack disorder. For me, the anxiety comes from needing to talk to people, to socialize, to not feel so alone...and yet I have this debilitating fear of people and the outside world. I wish I had some good advice for you but I'm struggling myself.

I'm glad you're here and I hope you find the answers you're looking for so that your load is at least a little lighter. Good luck and remember to keep putting one foot in front of the other, no matter how bumpy the road!
