8. welcome

agree w others that this is a good place to reach out.

even if all he can do is get a grip on the anxiety, it will help to get you more functional.

do you/can you have pets? a dog might be a big help. it makes it a lot easier to get acquainted w people, and dog people tend to be nice folks. dont know how i would have survived my divorce w/o my dogs. not just the empathy they give you, but the feeling of safety that a big dog brings means a whooooole lot.

hang in there. good luck. stick around. this is the warmest place on du.
