I have been afraid of my own shadow and the world for as far back as i can remember and within the past 2 years i have started asking the questions that need to be finally asked and noticed that i don't and shouldn't live my life this way. I'm 28 years old and cant drive, i'm a shut in and can't do anything alone. I even panic with the phone rings these days so i made a hard decision and am now in therapy for this. They are trying to teach me the cognitive therapy approach but this is so slow and now i'm go ready to start living but the speed of this is bring me back down and causes me to be afraid that i will never be free of fear. I know this is not by any means an over night process but how do you all hang on??? The treatment of fear is slowed by fear itself and all progress is halted by one momentary thought in the negative direction. How do you get past this to keep moving forward?

Thank you Hope. I keep trying to hang on but it's hard when you learn that you can be free from this nightmare and things move so slowly. Baby steps are all i have ever taken. It's time for me to run like hell towards something and not away for a change.
