I used to feel the same way way Mistybalade, I shut off completely but I try to reach out now IRl and in my cyber world to do all I can to give and recieve support. It helps with my panic, whereas before it made it worse. I can so relate!

If you opened up to others you would be surprised to find that nobody has a perfect life and everyone has their own issues. The more I talk about it with others the more I realize how enormous stress and anxiety issues are with people. So what, you have panic and anxiety. That doesn't make you a bad person. That doesn't mean everyone is looking at you and pointing. Somewhere along this path of recovery you need to regain confidence. It can be done. :)

I totally understand. I am there too. Panic because someone calling will want something and I'm just going to let them down or what they are asking is unreasonable or just because I didn't want to talk to anyone right now.

You could be missing your million dollar phone call. I love answering the phone when I'm having a shitty day. It feels kind of good to let those solicitors get an earful. My apologies if any of you work for a call center. I cussed another one out today. Stop trying to sell me shit. Damn. If I wanted to buy something I'd call THEM.

Sorry..got a little side tracked. If it's famiy calling you should at least acknowledge them. Them wouldn't be calling if they didn't care. You can be short and sweet. "Oh hi there. I'm doing ok. Great hearing from you but I was just getting in the shower".

Maybe I'm still not understanding what you're saying. What is it that you are afraid of? Or are you even afraid? Is it more of a withdrawal from everyone? You are making yourself your own prisoner.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
