emerging from isolation
Question for all of you...
So, gradually for the past 10 years or so, I have completely isolated myself from friends. I still have my husband, son, and other family, but as far as friends go...none. I have severe generalized anxiety and social phobia disorder which has made things difficult in the past. And my hibernation while drinking for 6 years didn't help either. Well, I am now sober and on medication for my anxiety, and am feeling definite improvement. I feel kind of stuck socially though. I feel like I'm ready to get back out there and challenge myself a bit but it's been so long that I honestly don't know how to interact with people-- I'm very rusty!!
Just wondering if any of you have any advice on how to emerge from isolation and meet some new friends.
Thanks!
