so if you had a 'clone' of yourself,
would you like to be around her/him?

CLONE! :) EXACTLY same person as you from head to toe!

what is your emotional response?
or if you met someone who threatened you with violence etc?

Greetings all,

This is my first post, and I apologize in advance if I'm asking in the wrong area of the forum, but I am desperately seeking resources for GAD/social anxiety/etc. support groups in the Portland, OR area. Thus far I have scoured Google, Meetup, and have searched/posted to craigslist and anxiety groups on Facebook to no avail.

My birthday is coming up so several co-workers gave me some gifts.

Hot chocolate with Godiva Chocolate.
Huge bag of Lindor Truffles.
A cookie the size of my head.
And a birthday cake, half of which came home with me today.
I am fairly certain that my really nice neighbor will bake me cookies. For Christmas she gave me a huge platter of cookies.
