Yeap just like baby step i"m a strong woman i always has been for me to depend on somebody else 24/7 it was like being in jail in a sense i started one day at a time doing something different i slept alone 1 day then i went to the dr the grocery store then the ultimate thing it took so much strenght for me was my trip last week to memphis alone! Bus ride i was afraid but i made it! I"m not saying its going to be easy but u will need support to help cheer u on thats how i did it

Thank you. It is very scary. I hate that I have anxiety. I was better years ago. Then all of sudden I had a miscarriage last year and have been worse ever since. Its terrible.

Hi

Last year when my anxiety developed I experienced can't be alone feeling , it was horrid and so out of character for me .

I have a male friend that knew what au was going through and was able to confide all my fears and feelings to him . I went on small dose of amitriptyline which helped this situation straight away ,I slowly got back to some form of normality but it took a few months and wasn't easy but here I am almost back to my normal self . It was like being a frightened child needing to hang on to some one all the time
