> and you have even managed to get married.I am fearful of speaking to even my father and brother.I can only speak with out hasitation with my mom.I have not tried nardil because it is not approved in my country.i agree that my disorder seems less severe than some. i am married and work full time. i understand what you are going through with your family quite well, however. i only interact with my mother, father, and siblings when my husband forces the issue by inviting them over to dinner or drags me to my parent's house. he can't understand my problem. and its not that i don't love my family, but i just find speaking to them incredibly difficult, so i avoid them completely. of course, they see it as a rejection and are hurt, which makes me even more uncomfortable and less able to interact.
don't ask me how i managed to get married. my husband is very tenacious. i tried to get him to leave me alone.... and beleive me that i usually have NO problem getting people to leave me alone.
