The board is good, glad I found it. It seems to
offer some support & guidance, BUT it can't
provide a hug or smile or a soothing voice or a
pair of eyes that reflect acceptance and care.

I'm employed. But I have been taking a lot of days
off. I did not go in yesterday or today. So, my
job, a pretty good one, is in jeopardy. I don't
know anything about EAP. I have short & long
term disability insurance but my psych insists I
try to keep working. Problem is, if I continue
the abscences I'll lose my job & my health insur-
ance. Then I will be lost.

Don't know anything about benzos. Will ask my
psych about them. Social phobia? I'm not afraid to
be out, but it's true I don't socialize. Haven't
had a date or been with a group, except my friend
and his family (don't know if our friendship exists
now) for 12 years.

Thanks for your response.
