Hi BraveSwimmer

You're doing a great job keeping up the professional demands of maintaining and holding a job.

I'm sorry to hear family relations are strained due to religion.

It sounds as if you have a good relationship with your therapist - that's always a bonus. The meds will only get you so far but we do need the professional support of talking things through.

You've created outlets like studying language and going to gym. All of these are really positive signs in my eye.

Not wanting to face the world could very likely be a transitional phase that you are going through. I get this sometimes. But it doesn't last forever. It's almost like the feeling of wanting to lock the front door and hope like hell no one knocks.

I wish you peace and comfort moving forward and when the time is right, you may meet a significant other to spend your time with.
