hey im 18, i suffer from anxiety pritty much all the time. When im in my house my nerves are usually ok but as soon as i go out it hits me.
dont exactly no what to say, but its nice to see other people going through the same thing. Just went counsellin today too, but yeah im just sick and tired struggling through college and struggling to make friends. To me its not right having to fight for everything!

Hiya Chris, you made a great move starting out it, I feel it helps to let it all off your chest, even if it is just over the net.

I just started counseling again with my 3rd counselor, and he actually seems to know what he's talking about so far, and I have good hope hehe.

It's definitely hard to find good friends these days IRL or even on the net since people are all about instant gratification and don't want to commit, have a busy life, or just get bored/tired of trying. I'm gona do my best on here and try to be myself and talk to as many people as I can.

I hate to admit it but now that I am going against my negative thoughts it is like a constant battle and I keep trying to beat those -'s with +'s. You try your best too ya! You deserve to be happy too man, let's work together and beat this beast called Social Anxiety!
