Hey Everyone,
This is my very first post and I am amazed that such a website has been set up. It is so reassuring to know so much support is available and also that I'm not alone in this.

I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder, which on a personal level means I have a lot of free-floating anxiety and in particular (even though I eat fairly well) I am terrified of eating out with people other than my best friends. I am sure this terror is well understand by you all.

Anyway, I went to the doctors the other day and he recommended a technique called "flooding" which entails going out to eat very regularly; so often that it no longer becomes an issue. I was just wondering if anyone had tried it or been successful or indeed had any pointers?

Thanks for all the support on the forums. It's a really great set-up and I really hope you all have got as much support as me from it!

Andrew
