Had World Day of Prayer at church yesterday. I was all right at that, but at the reception I had to socialize a bit and someone asked me to come in and visit her as I walk by her house most every day. In my head I just screamed and then really did run. I left. I walk that way to avoid my ex-husband who has a habit of following me. Now I'll have to go on the main road to avoid being invited in. Darn. I feel so trapped. I'm just tipping over the edge into a serious depression again. I just want to disappear.

Hello, Jean17. In my view, Jean, you might want to go in to see a psychiatrist and have an evaluation of your fears discussed. I think the lady was just trying to be a friend, but for some reason, it made you panic.

Medication can help with that and we really don't want you to fall into a depression because of an incident like that.

I think, too, Jean, that your X-husband's annoyance of you needs to be addressed; that could be a major trigger behind your fears.

We all need and love good people, I think, when we're physically healthy and mentally at ease.

Take care and keep in touch. Prayer going up for you now.

Jean17, had your ex-husband not been in the social picture at all, would you have reacted differently?
