Hi and welcome.

Hi, you have not yet lost the battle friend. I too find social interaction exhausting. One piece of advice I have heard, just put one foot in front of the other (one step at a time) and eventually it will feel like walking. I am glad you joined the site and hopefully this site will provide some clarity and understanding. Stay strong.
