I would say don't be too concerned with breaking out of your confort zone, like you need to do it immediately or something. There are plenty of things you can do to change 'you' without reaching too far out, putting yourself into situations where you know it will be unpleasent. Try to concern yourself with your overall health, don't just concentrate on 'the problem'. You may find that having a more wholistic view will eventually come to include your problems in its own natural time.

Ofcourse, easier said than done. But so is everything. Life was never meant to be easy, who ever said it was?

Happy to discuss further...
