It's cool that most churches are open for visitors. I always visit churches where I can.
And visiting a meeting with people you haven't met in real life is surely a win if you have an anxiety disorder.
Facing your fears often seems to help, doesn't it?
two - three years ago i decided to take on the battle , i'm not going to say it is easy but i do see improvements evertyime after taking big challenges like this meeting . Now i will take the rest of the week off to get used to the fact of what i did , and move on from there , and i also need to recharge again , although the recharging goes a lot faster then last year.
Experiencing success moments like this is the key. I don't know what it must feel like, but I've seen what it does to have relatives. Good job and take your rest!
