I wanted to vent annoyance about a "friend." We used to date, but he broke up with me because he was in love with someone else. Fine, we hadn't been dating more than a few of weeks. But now that he's...

In the past several months, I have quietly worked toward facing my fears. The exposure work has been quite successful. In June 2010, I got on an airplane for the first time in 5 years and did well. I...
