Hey. Thanks for your post! Can I ask you how you made progress and what did you do and how long did this take? How do you accept it? Oh my gosh. Same. I hate how it hinders me or stops me from being who I want to be. It's made me more shy and introverted than I already am. I hate answering the phone and I don't go out. I try to avoid as much human interaction as possible and I don't want to live my life that way any more. Went through the same and probably worse. It's hard to let go of those times. Sigh - same. I want to be able to talk to people with ease - without thinking and without paying attention to my breath. Still learning but with my situation, I feel like it's becoming worse and I hate it.
