Re-entering the mad world

Less than one minute read time.

I had a totally isolated weekend attached to my feeding tube with the tv, x-box and my dear bunnies and all was ok. The trouble started when I had to let the outside world back in.

This illness is so inconvenient. If I bould be administered treatment through the letterbox, it might be easier.

The problem is that I have an incredibly severe case of social-phobia and people scare the life out of me. In stressfull situations I lose the power of speech and become a quivering, weeping wreck.

I am more afraid of being away from home and finding myself forced into social situations that may overwhem me than any pain or horror that treatment may cause.

In fact writing this has distressed me so much I cannot continue now.

    Dont let it get to you Harvey,

    I went through the exact same thing and sometimes still do. It does take a lot of getting used to running around with a tube stuck up your nose. But beleive it or not you do get used to it. All the Best and Good Luck. It dosent last forever..

    Take care and be safe Sarsfield.

    It must have taken a lot of courage for you to tell us about your fears, so thank you for sharing that with us.  This is a place where you can be yourself and you have control. Do things at your own pace.  Give those bunnies a hug from me.
