Hi, Hannah! I am glad to see you here again. I have read your other post and will briefly respond to that as well, but suffice to say I appreciate what it takes to come back to post when you've had a rough time. (In my case, it's my own doing and I have work to do to make amends, but I know the apprehension you must have felt.) And you did it! Two excellent posts. Feel good about this, please.

I have social anxiety and I am a worrier -- my mother had serious anxiety and OCD issues, and they became part of my childhood. But over time, I've gotten better...but I still worry about what others think and then overcompensate. My intentions are good though, and I do believe sincere intentions do count. We all continue to learn from life and each other, no matter our ages.

I can understand the struggle you have, and have had panic attacks. My hubby accepts that and just helps me to do what will be comfortable for me at that time, as do my close friends. Please know we accept that, too. No pressure here.

I delayed responding because I want to be more thoughtful and deliberate in my responses, especially in these circumstances be a use I really don't want to hurt anyone but rather be a s our cell of comfort and support. But I stumble sometimes and so will hesitate out of anxiety. See?

I was happy to help and no thanks are needed, nor any documentation. Those are your personal matters. What I do like is hearing that you are stepping outside your comfort zone and asking for help. It's hard...I know (I was always told to,handle things on my own and keep things private.) But talking to a psychologist sounds terrific. They will help you understand so you can explain to your husband, etc. They will also help you cope in ways best for you, and give you another outlet to express what is going on. So I think that's tremendous of you!
