Well as comfortable asking I can be, I still don't talk much and bring in notes. But at least I don't have a panic attack every time I go in there. I do need professional help and am trying really hard to get it. That's one of the main reasons my sister left.
I usually need to be escorted to all appointments. I don't really drive much and have had a phobia of being in cars since childhood....it gets very severe. I go into my appointments alone though. Except medical appointments where I need an extra set of ears or when I'm very unwell and paranoid I need my husband in the room

Sorry you deal with that anxiety too. It really stinks. I hope you can be open with your parents someday and they will be supportive (((hugs)))
