At the moment I am weaning off of the Lex and increasing Zorloft at the same time. I am starting to think I should just keep taking both. This past weekend I actually went to see a movie alone. Figured that would be a good place to start since it doesn't require social interaction. Not to mention it is dark in there and nobody can see how nervous I look. Most of the time I am ok getting into the car with every intention to do something and just could never bring myself to actually stop and get out of the car. I would just turn around and go back home. Granted I did drive around the parking lot for quite awhile before parking, but I pretty much forced myself and I know a year ago I wouldn't have done this without my "liquid courage" LOL. So, hopefully this is a beginning. Interacting with others is still quite hard. Heck, just making a phone call about anything, I will go over the conversation in my head over and over and over and over again before I pick up the phone. Just too worried I will sound like an idiot or forget why I called due to nerves.
