                If it's any consolation, I TOTALLY get what you are saying, feeling, thinking, needing... Although I do not suffer from it, myself. Ask me. There are simple solutions, which do not sacrifice the sensory perception. -L.D.

                    I can relate
                
                First of all, I admire anyone who can come up with excellent metaphors on the spot.  I can never seem to do that.
  I suffer from depression and anxiety also.  I never want to leave home, don't answer my phone, rarely email people, etc.  And you're right, self-esteem and anxiety go hand in hand.  A never-ending, viscious circle.
  Good luck to you in the future and cherish what you have already achieved, for it is grand, indeed!

                mysteria, I think the world of you , and miss you when you don't write.  I worry about you not getting out enough, but I'm the same way.  We all have issues, but those who find ways to "coach" themselves through positive self-talk and other ways, get better.  Others deny, obfuscate, circle the wagons, stick together with the establishment and never get better.  These are the people who are incapable of honesty.

                thanks so much for your support and encouragement.  It may sound trite, but really, it means the world to me to know that I mean something to someone like you

                mysteria, TRUE.  We can coach ourselves back into the game, after everyone else has written us off.  Good strategy!
