Re: Realizing about friendships/social anxiety

I am so happy you are continuing this-it sounds like fun and therefore, is so good for you. I am so happy also, that they are accepting you.

Re: How fast does should this program go?

That sounds like a good plan. I am going to trail off and just live and read some cool books at night time..but not re do the program.

Re: what helps me with scary thoughts

You're right-under react to them always! And...direct that energy and creativity and intelligence outward, in that positive direction :)

Thanks :) :)

Re: what helps me with scary thoughts
