Just come home from a weight loss class early. It's 6 months since I DA'd and two and a half years since I've been to a meeting. There was a witness there (unless she has left, I wouldn't know) we made eye contact! I thought I was stronger but obviously not - I started shaking uncontrollably - I feel like such an idiot because I know I have done nothing wrong. I was hoping she wouldn't stay for the chat part of the class but she sat in front of me!! I had to get up and walk out whilst bawling my eyes out. Mind you there was only about 9 of us sat down, I think it was just too close for comfort. How does everyone else cope when they see witnesses? -

I had a problem this past weekend. I'm undercover and had to spend the evening with my parents. Things turn to spiritual matters, and I put on a mask and smile and say all the right things.
But I had a panic attack on the way home and vomited.
I'm hoping things get easier.

It's just horrible, mind you going back would be Much worse, a glass or two of wine seems to have helped 😏 -

They take off like a turkey in a corn field. They are afraid to look me straight in the eye.
It took me years to get to this point, they have no power over me anymore and they can
sense that.

That's what I'm hoping to get to James Moxon, maybe it's too early days. -

Peony: hang in there. You will eventually get at a stage where you will
say, bring me a JW elder and let me set him straight while looking at him
straight into his eyes.

I'm hoping things get easier.I know this feeling.
I avoid eating with my parents at home - so I don't have tp pray.
