I suffer from the same. Just discovered this thread.

Hi (:

I sit at home and do nothing and never go out. What a fun life.

Also, Sunshineinthecity - yeah exposure is the way. But what my therapist always says to me is 'bend but don't break'. As in, expose yourself but not too much. Don't push yourself too much, you've got to take it slowly. I understand your thinking but 'throwing yourself in at the deep end' doesn't seem to really work for this kind of thing.

I hope things get better for you.
