I've had severe social anxiety for almost 10 years now and it was triggered by a really rude comment a co-worker made while I was at work. The anxiety started then and it's gotten progressively worse. It's gotten to the point where I don't even answer my front door anymore. I'm married, but I met my husband before I had the severe anxiety and I was a whole different person, I was fun and outgoing and worked outside the home, (at the job where I got the rude comment). We were just friends then and I had a boyfriend at the time, he wasn't seeing anyone. Anyways, 4 years later, my boyfriend at the time and I had broken up, due to the severe anxiety, and my now husband and I ran into each other. I already had the severe anxiety too. We talked just a lil and exchanged phone #s. I told him about the anxiety by phone & he said we could take our relationship as slow as I wanted and that he wanted to help. Well a couple months later I felt comfortable enuf to start going out, (more below)
