mentalmess, you came to the right place. Read and post as you feel comfortable. It won't be long and you will be a pro at it. This place really starts to grow on you after awhile. I also have an anxiety disorder...talking here has really helped me. Although I still feel anxious about things, I am better able to get outside of my house. And, I can check the mail with limited anxiety. I am able to get to work and the grocery store...everything is not perfect, but definitely better than it was when I started here on psychcentral!
