Hi there, @gingerw and @pearlbpearlbaby7 ! Gpod afternoon and how are you? I am pretty good, as I seem to be undetstanding how pain, physial pain, can lesd to depression and anxiety.

I wore my brace today, which seemed to help with the muscle spasms which begin around 11am every day. I drove the Granny Scooter st Publix. With no shame at all.
I am starting to take more of an interest in getting out and doing things. But only with small groups. I don't like the discussions that typically come up. How many childten do you have? What do they do? Hard to answer questions like that when you have a disabled daughter who has a sketchy past that involved drug use.

We are raising her son, who is a wonderful young man. He is kind, smart, funny, and loves animals. We have an excellent home school and are very excited about the upcoming year.

If I can ever pierce through this brain fog of depression and fibromyalgia, I may see the light again. I appreciate. Every person here, and thank you all for sharing your story.

I will be strong, and I will grow, and find better ways to deal with the anxiety I have from being with people. Some days it is. not an issue at all. Then there are other days that I am very sensitive. I can say what I feel here. And not be judged What a blessing you are!
Hoping to hear from you sometime!
