I try not to let it rule me, though. I am afraid to even kiss my partner in public for fear of what could happen to us. Do you have any idea how sad it is when we go to an airport and everyone is kissing their loved one "good-bye" and we have to "air kiss" when no one is looking?! I am also afraid of being 'useless' as I haven't had a job in ten years. My sense of purpose was rocked.
