What you said about sucking on crisps before eating them so they wouldn't be crunchy reminds me of some of the extremes I would go to when I has Social Anxiety Disorder. I'd do practically anything to avoid attracting attention to myself or look "weird" to others. Once while out to lunch with a bunch of coworkers, a long single strand of my hair got caught in my mouth as I took a bite of something. I was so self conscious about it, not wanting anyone else at the table to discover I had my own hair in my mouth, that I acted as if nothing happened and continued to eat my food, pulling the hair in along with it as I chewed! lol I hope everyone who reads your blog knows that it IS possible to get over SAD. I did, you did, and so can others. Nothing is impossible! Happy Holidays! Hello from the United States!
