It makes me so happy that you have fought back and overcome many of anxiety's crippling effects! Keep seeking that socialization, keep investing in the things to help you, and keep trusting in God's sovereignty and grace in these situations.

It’s the emotional equivalent of an English degree.<br /><br />It definitely can feel like that. What does it matter now that I know the weird things he puts in his macaroni salad?
