I have lived with fear most of my life. And, as I'm now aging, it is becoming more pronounced. For the most part, I just stay at home nowadays. However, yesterday my spouse & I had to go to a Social Security office (U.S.) in our city. Well, first we got seriously lost, which didn't exactly help the anxiety factor. But then, we had to sit in the crowded waiting room. (There was an armed security guard on duty.) By the time we were called in for our appointment, I was pretty-much a wreck. Fortunately my spouse handled our part of the meeting. I was floating in hyperspace... I always wear a baseball-type cap when I'm out-&-about. I keep the visor pulled low in front to shield my eyes. It helps...
