quitter Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Age 53, social anxiety. I have one grown daughter who is married and in her own home. I live in Virginia with my boyfriend in my home and I work as a legal secretary. My boyfriend is disabled due to back problems. I've had anxiety problems from way back in 1976ish...back when no one spoke of anxiety or panic and there was no real medicine to help. I take zoloft now...when I joined this forum I was going to quit smoking and therefore the name "QUITTER"..but I haven't been able to quit yet. I was taking Chantix and had to stop because I've had an exasperating injury to my left shoulder blade/arm/hand ...fingers are numb. So need to get that figured out before taking the 2 weeks off from work that I intended to do - anyway, that's me. I am glad to be here & hope to talk to some of you soon.

Footprints1973 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi Joan, welcome, I'm a newbie too. I have a touch of social anxiety, so your definitely not alone on that one. And as for qutting smoking, yeah I've done it, but I've started again....but it CAN be done. I'm sure there will be some support forums on that too.
