Congrats ! You did it and lived to tell about it ! That was my gauge for determining success when I was going thru exposure therapy! LOL

Hey - dont be hard on yourself. I always had a "let down" period after doing something that was anxiety provoking for me. I would be exhausted. If you called people you did not know, and probably will never meet - who cares if they think you were an "idiot"? You called, talked, and survived - pat yourself on the back for me......you made huge progress !
