Moment of Truth

It seemed that all my worst fears had come to fruition at the same time.  I believed that I had total proof of my own worthlessness.  I was devastated and could not stop crying for several weeks.

I needed salvation.  I needed to fix the problem of my worthlessness.    I decided that it was all to do with my social phobia.  This problem had been going on for too long.  It was time to do something about it.

That was a very frightening time for me because I was so ashamed of the problem.   I also did not know where to start searching for an answer.

I told a friend at the local gym that I had just experienced a "completed relationship".  I told him that I believed that the major cause of the "completion" was my inability to talk to people and make new friends. 

I blamed myself for everything.  At that time, I did not know that a person can only be 100% responsible for 50% of a relationship.

My gym friend recommended a place where I could get counselling.  I was very fortunate to get that recommendation.  There are a lot of ill-equipped counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists.  Sometimes a client has to shop around to find someone who can really help them.

These links show what I did to raise my self esteem, improve my communication skills and find out who I really am.
