I'm happy to hear you are doing much better emotionally:) I am in the same position emotionally I am gradually and slowly getting mentally better dealing with this bo. I totally agree God, family, friends and pets help alot. I always pray to God to help me deal with my emotional issues when it comes to this bo and he always helps me get through it and brings me peace. I myself have 2 dogs and 2 cats and whenever I'm feeling down they are very comforting also. I hear you on not wanting to leave your home I also barely leave my home unless necessary like going to the store, doctor appts etc. I also get bad anxiety when I'm out in the public because I know I might have to deal with negative reactions but now it is a little better for me because I try to block it out of my mind and remind myself life could always be worse and thank God for the many blessings I do have despite this bo. I also remind myself this bo is not my fault and I'm not gonna let anyone ruin my day over a stupid comment they are not worth it and this is my life and I choose to live it as happy as I can and it really does help.You take care Mary88 and remember God loves you and can also help you and have a good day:)
