I wish I could be there with you to help. You can do it. You won't feel better until you do. Slow your thoughts down and focus. Imagine how much better you will feel after. Let us know how it goes.

as the others have said, there is NOTHING to worry about it, the quickest and fastest way to get better and do what you are MOST scared of is TO GET OUT THERE AND DO IT try taking it easy slowly, breathing deeply and visualising nice things, nice people out there who may smile and talk to you if you let them. All these little things help. Why not try a little each day, go out of your front door down the garden path, then back in, then down the road a lttle tiny bit then come back in, then go further down the road a bit mor, try a little each day and you may even surprise yourself and i f you can get out to the shops, even if you panic a bit, you will be SOOOO PROUD of yourself that you tried , good luck

i think the thing that has really gotten me through the toughest parts is the fact that no matter how scared i was, i did it. no matter what it was. try a step at a time. go outside first, then down the block...remember what you feel is JUST A FEELING!!! they can't hurt you. i know it's easier said than done, but you can do it!
