Adamsgirl your not alone! Being Social phobic and having PTSD makes it
really hard to get out and about for me to do things.

Its a challenge everyday!! Its like I almost experience anxiety before I
even leave home. The gym that I work out at now is huge. We're
talking lots of people, machines, HD TV's on the walls.

Its like I almost work myself up before I even get there!! I have to
constantly remind myself that everything will be ok when I get there.

And, usually its is. Its just getting past that little doubt in my mind,
thats has plagued me over the years. And yah I'd rather Isolate
and stay home to.

Then there is getting to other social activities and doing other volunteer
work I am involved in, and last but not least I have my 83 year old
mom I look after constantly.

I'm ready for vacation...LOL

Hang in there, good luck
