Imprisoned By Anxiety
After I told my new therapist about my social phobia, he said that the anxiety could feel imprisoning. And "Imprisoned" is the word used in Shyness: The New Solution. I had never thought about it with this word. To me, having words for something makes it more conquerable. I am imprisoned by my anxiety. I don't envision some things as possible when they will only happen if I work with other people. Even less possible are things that will only happen if I have to confront or argue with someone. I feel imprisoned by my anxiety and want to break free.
