Diana,

I haven't got kids so really cannot even start to help you there.

As for all the other issues , the less you do something the less you then want to and the scarier it gets . The solution is always to start facing and doing the activity.

The key to success is time without incident so the more you sleep in your room , teh easier it will get as you have one good night , then two reasonable nights etc and exactly the same for going out.

Avoidance perpetuates avoidance but baby steps if needs be.
