I went through that same thing before I got on meds. It's a form of social anxiety. And in all honestly, it's really not bad going out with 2 kids. If one has a tantrum, we leave. I've already walked out of Target once with everything still sitting in the cart in the aisle. It really isn't as bad as it seems. It never hurts to talk to your dr. Hang in there hon.

And *sigh* I suppose it's normal for everyone else around you to be watchful of it too. The thing is, medication isn't supposed to make you happy all the time. It's supposed to help you cope, even you out. If you CAN'T do that - then yeah, talk to a Doc. I think (personally) the fact that you are still capable of "forcing yourself out" is a good sign. <em>Miss Britt's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MissBritt/~3/365359894/'>A Giveaway!

It's pretty. Looks like it has some smart-phone functionality as well, yes? Yum! And YES, you should talk to your doctor about it. Really. It took me 6 months to talk to mine, and 2 years to get into counseling... but I'm finally starting to feel better. I'd been unhappy so long I forgot how it felt to actually feel good. And I don't want to lose it again, even if it means pestering my counselor with every little fear and concern and wandering thought of whether I should talk to someone about <>... it's part of the healing process.
