Social Anxiety Support

Hard Rock Glamour · 11-01-2009, 07:20 PM

Hello

Firstly, thanks for reading.

My name is Debbie, I'm 19 and live in the UK.

Well... to make my story short, I dropped out of school when I was 14 with depression and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I stopped leaving the house, because I didn't want to be seen. Since then I've been battling these, as well as Generalized Anxiety Disorder and, of course, Social Phobia. I'm absolutely terrified of people. I've been a hermit for the last 5 years. I didn't really start going out of the house until I was 17, and now I go out sometimes, but I often go weeks without leaving the house at all

. I don't really have any motivation. I have no friends, haven't had friends since I was at school. I get very lonely, although I have a boyfriend who is my best friend and I love him a lot

, I miss having girlfriends, and enjoying the laughs and freedom.

Well, I think I've said enough lol, probably too much... I'm also very shy of forums, but I thought I'd give this place a shot...
