Start small. Find a support group, even at church or community center, in which you can develop your emotional muscles so to speak.

If you had weak muscles you'd go to a trainer and this is no different and there's plenty of places for people with anxiety to learn and grow.

I was in your similar situation and went to just one group per week and after six months or so I felt like a different person. All I had to do was listen.
