Hi everyone,
I found this forum just a couple days ago and decided to join up. Normally, I end up not signing up for various forums, finding different reasons not to, but this time I decided to just do it. Things like this always seem to be tough, because I really don’t like talking about myself…but here goes!
Even thought I’m just 24, I often think it’s “too late”. I’ve formally been diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder/depression, but in all likelihood, I’ve probably had it my entire life. I’ve gone to therapy for a little over two years, which I’ve found very helpful, but don’t take any medications currently. I have another longstanding health issue called fibromyalgia which is partially responsible for that. At times, I feel amazed at myself for holding up as well as I have for so long. But at other times, I feel like a wreck who just doesn’t measure up.
I don’t really have any friends in person. The funny thing is though, compared to any other point in my life, I have more internet friends than ever. And I don’t know why I always feel like I have to be able to explain my relative isolation.
I think I’ve probably nervously rambled on enough! I’ll just say that this seems like a really great place and that it’s nice to meet everyone.
