brightstar---you've got it. babysteps!! As simplistic as that might sound--every little step forward is a step in the right direction. Set attainable goals, and take it one day at a time. Be proud of even the smallest step--because this isn't easy. You do have to push yourself , at times, even when you don't feel like it.

Just do the next right thing. Some days, it might be just getting out of bed and brushing your teeth. That is o.k., because this is not going to be the case forever.

It is not unusual to be afraid of the feelings, like you just described. You will find, though, that if you just let the feeling come and wash over you---and picture it washing away from you---the feeling will not swallow you up. It is actually the fear of the fear that gets to most people.
