I ask because I was. I could barely hold a conversation with strangers until I was 30. It is difficult. I have anxiety now dealing with the same abusive father and aloof mother who constantly covers for him. He even goes so far as to threaten my children.

I use xanax only when necessary. I use herbal holy basil and other supplements as necessary.

Best of luck. I know it’s hard.
