It's okay to feel scared or uncertain. Are there self-critical voices? Can you recognize what they are telling you and write them down?
Then tell those voices that llurpsie noodle is gonna come down and kick their heinies!
no seriously, taking a step towards "normalcy" is scary. Taking a BIG step is terrifying. But now that you've taken it, you'll never have to take the same step again. Glad to have THAT behind you.
Next time you feel the panic coming on, remind yourself "I've been here before, and I survived. I'm going to be here again, but I'll be wiser and stronger next time"
And if you had the soothing voice of my formerT, you could internalize it and carry it with you. Instead you'll just have to visualize it on a vanilla page as you confront the world wide web.
cheers, and good luck
