well don't be afraid to reach out to your friends. you may be surprised by the support you get. I am shocked by the crazy **** I tell my coworkers and they still love me.

and at this link Forums at Psych Central - Show Groups, you can always PM any of the community liaisons to talk and we would be happy to offer our support.

you are not alone. I hope your new t helps. make sure it is one that knows how to treat anxiety. I worked for years with one that didn't know what to do with my anxiety at all. it was really frustrating. I finally got a new t who diagnosed me accurately and my anxiety nearly went away. take care
