I don't have any answers, I'm afraid, but I hope you can find some avenues to meeting people. What about your crafts class? What about going back to WW meetings? I know, I'm sure you've thought of all those things and more. I tend to be a person who wants to offer practical solutions (so the opposite stereotype in my house, whenever the hub is feeling down, I try to "fix" it). Anyway, feel free to e-mail me whenever you like. I wish I could do more. Jeez, why do they even ask where you want to eat if they are going to do what they want anyway? :)

I've been skimming the surface of your blog, so I'm not sure if you take medication for your anxiety. I know that Zoloft has made a huge difference in my life -- after years of fighting the fact that yes, I do need to take something. Physical activity helps. Writing helps. Being around people helps. Hell, blogging helps. Keep writing honestly and from the heart, and email me anytime. I'll keep checking in on ya. :) Girl, you sound so much like me.

As you know, I've been tripping by your site the last few days too. ;) I've been taking Effexor, which is more for my depression. Currently, I'm in a cognitive therapy group/class though the first two weeks were o.k. but I'm struggling with their 3rd week's material. You and Tamara both have good advice. I know, I know. I really need to go back to my stained glass class (though now I wish they'd let puppies in there. ;) ) Must find more to do out of the house. Once Pugly arrives I'll be looking for a puppy playgroup and puppy training classes. I wonder if I can get a doctor to write me a note saying he's has to come with me for health reasons so he can come everywhere like seeing eye dogs. ;) Christine — Thanks for stopping by.
