Sorry i have been away so long. i don't even know how many of the same people come here when I was a regular. i have come a long way the past year or so. I have been employed-thats right! For almost nine months. It is a low pressure job though I still fight anxiety off and on. It's only 3 days a week but at least it is something. I can provide for myself a little more. I also take public transportaion since I do not drive. At first this was SCARY but i am accustomed to it now. So that is just one update on myself. For those who remember me I'm sure you are surprised because I used to not work and got really anxious. I'm really getting better but it is taking time but its a slow process. I did this all without any program and no longer on Effexor-been off a year. I have an anti anxiety med but don't take alot of it. Just an update on me.

Congratulations on your wonderful progress. It sounds like you have done so much to improve your life. Keep up the good work!
