Hi everyone! I haven't been here as much as I used to be although I am always thinking about the people here and hoping to get caught up with everyone at some point. Also hoping to be able to offer support to those in need. It makes me feel better about myself when I can use my experiences to help others. Of course I don't have all the answers but most of the time I can at least relate to what others are going through. The good news is that I am starting to get better. Sunday my family and I actually went to church with my son's 6th grade teacher and her family. This was a long term goal for me to be able to actually be around people long enough to sit through a church service and I finally did it! To me and my family this was a huge deal! My social phobia has kept me very isolated from others and unable to do things and be with people. And not this is getting better! I am so grateful! And yes the problems and issues are all still there. Some things have not changed much but I am coping better and not letting it all get to me the way I always have let it get to me in the past. So I just had to give my update. Thank you all for being here for me and for each other. You are all an amazing, wonderful bunch of people! love and hugs, Heidi
