You are getting help and that is a good sign! I only have my dog to take care of...if I had a family to take care of, I do not know what I would do. I have extended family members pick up things for me at stores and drop them off. So they are enabling my behavior.

I happen to love Walgreens (?)...so am very proud when I can actually shower, dress, and go to there to walk around. I believe if i saw someone i knew, I would pretend I did not see them, and even go as far as pretending not to hear then if they called my name.. I am very ill.
Kirby777, if you don't mind my saying so I don't think your family is enabling your behavior, you can't really help it can you? I almost lost it at the grocery store today. there were so many people and I just wanted to get out of there. I was doing my best to get some shopping done but left with very little. I couldn't think. of course today was not a good day to go.
Thanks for this!
