Hi Iain!
I too have suffered from anxiety and depression. At times, that was all I knew and all I wanted to be was ALONE. The more interaction with people, the worse I seemed to get. I still have "those days" but thankfully, they are few and far between. At least, I can relate to the extent that I can. I found I have to catch myself as soon as those feelings start to barely surface and then go to my "happy" place, which is usually walking around in my yard and paying attention to Nature around me. If I start singing hymns or grab my Bible and read, those feelings will usually just subside. But, as you know, the head sometimes wins out and the spiral begins.
My prayers are with you.
Oh, I hope your vehicle situation has improved as I saw on the weather last night Boone and area had/is having snow.......
