Dear Rose:

Your long term relationship lasted from the time you were 18 to 28.

Four years after the ending of this long relationship, you are “terrified of dating… stuck and frozen… paralyzed with fear”. These are strong terms. Fear is in the very title of your thread: “Scared to start dating”

If you would like to explore further the nature of your anxiety (ongoing fear), will you share about any kind of anxiety you experienced before, as early back as you remember?
