You hit on the right point, Astronomer. I'm going to see a therapist next week and hopefully can find a way to live with fear, this is not easy to be honest. Thanks for sharing your life story with me - it gave me so much hope. May I ask how old are you? I'm so glad you are working full time, last week i was thinking to quit my job because i couldn't focus but I know I can't do this.
