I THINK YOU YOU CAN GAIN CONFIDENCE AND STILL LEARN TO LIVE WITH HAVING ANXIETY. ALOT OF SPORTS AND PROFESSIONAL PERFORMERS HAVE TO BATTLE ANXIETY. THEY LEARN TO MANAGE IT.

As far as anxiety and performance, talk with you doc about beta blockers-lots of times using a med for a while can put you in a position to learn to deal once the incapacitating effects of anxiety are controlled.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
