Hey PJ!
Well, ummm, when you ride your bike are you alone??
I think you should do stuff in ultra ultra small steps. Like start off with a minute alone. Then two mintues alone. Then walk around your house outside alone. Then walk up the street and back again on your own. Then slowly build it up......
I mean, I've sort of starting doing this myself. But with me its posioning myself fears. So I've been fighting it alot. Making myself buy things I wouldn't normally touch with a pole. Little by little I'm challenging myself. Perhaps you could so the same?
The thing is, I'm fine being alone during the day or the evening, but being alone when I'm sleeping in an empty house really freaks me out. But last summer, I had to be alone for a month sleeping at night by myself. You do get used to it.
What do you think will happen when you're alone?
But can you not go back to nursing?? You won't be alone when you're nursing surely? I think you must be the best psych nurse in NC. You're so kind and understanding and completely non-judgemental with people with mental problems.
Kind regards
Meri
