I have anxiety because i talked a lot at my mental health drop-in. I usually just listen. It was exciting but now i worry i was annoying or inappropriate. I try and tell myself it's a benevolent and compassionate place and i let others talk too. It's just so very unusual for me to express myself, i feel so uneasy when i do. Does anyone else have this?

@buddha1too:

Welcome back! I missed you! You might remember me from my former names Whatever2013 or JaneRedux.

@Soupe du jour:

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling in your marriage. I got tired of the constant negotiation and compromise when i was married too. I enjoy the independence of being single now, but the discomfort of the loneliness is pretty steep too. You've got the added stress of being in a country new to you and having to rely on your husband probably more than you're comfortable with. As you learn the language and get over obstacles like driving you'll likely be happier. Is taking public transit an option? I imagine if you even challenged yourself to run a simple errand alone, you'd be pleased.
