Hi, so I'm from France and I'm 17.
So If I had to resume a little why I am here. Let's begin with the story. Well, as far as I remember, I was always someone very shy but that was alright, I got some friends ( and some were giiiiiirls Yeah :D ) but the problem begun when I was 9 I think. Well, I got a memory from when I was 8 and I couldn't answer to a question and so, I was very stressed and I same cry but it's at 9 when the things really get worse, I got MANYYYY Panic Attack but after 3 years, It calm down. Fast Forward, I'm 13 which wasn't a bad year, Obama become President and the awesome Dark Knight come out, but very sadly, everything wasn't awesome. You know, there was that girl, blabla who during a boring lesson send a paper where it was write " I love you" and I just didn't respond and after, during the year, she give me kick in the back, saying I was gay, blabla, that kind of things ( So I got some friends who told me that this was because she loved but seriously, I think that's bull**** because I'm not the kind of guy who would interest those girls ) and so, I didn't respond with a punch or anything else because that thing is like screaming, I feel like what I am doing isn't right, it's not me, like if someone else was controlling my body. A very strange sensation and this is NOT because she was a girl because the " a man should never hit a woman" or same the equality between the gender is bull**** to me ( And I'm not a sexist. I just think that we should treat everyone as the same, if a man or a women is hire just to had 50% of women and 50% of man in a company, it's discrimination ). But very surprising, it is note a very stressful moment but it says a lot about my problem. Everything, I take it. You insult me ? I will say nothing and take on me. You hit me ? I will say nothing and take on me ...
So, we continue, fast forward, blabla some bully me by putting a pencil in my ear, throw me things like stone and some other things and I still take on me. Seriously, I never said anything about that, It's not even being a nice guy ( and that's what I really am. Well, as far as I remember. I wasn't the best friend to be with because I'm not funny and all but I was the most careful I think ). It's just being a stupid toy.
So, after, I'm 14. It's time for the result from the school. So, I never talk, it's bad, blabla ... and I am the only of my class who can go to the general. So, let me explain a little how it works. In France, we got two high school. The general who is the same that in america and the pro which is nice way to says " you're not smart so we put you here" but I wanted to do general because I wanted to had more possibility in the future for the work.
So, It bassicaly do my 9th grade once again but this time. I do all the years with no friend and everybody would make fun on me,... and I take on me, it was all alright until the school says to me " Sorry dude, you're not good enough, the general isn't for you " and I just snap. That was it. A massive panic attack but when I says massive, it was really massive and same today where it's like I can't control my body ( with my hands, I had to catch something like if I was going to fall and my feet had to hit something ), it wasn't that scary. So now, I got that stupid SAD and I also got a incredibly low self esteem of me ( thanks school who just like jail is still block in the 14th century ). For exemple, if you give me a lesson that I don't understand, I will cry for 30 minutes

So I'm here and I think that being here could help me :)
And sorry if the writing of the text is bad (especially because I don't had a great english )

I'm Dawn. I live in Indiana with my husband (who is disabled) his mother (who id disabled), brother (you guessed it -disabledwith MR and CP) and his sister. Just to say it all and get it out of the way - I am disabled, too. I just began receiving disability. My litany of health issues, both physical and mental :major depression with explosive events, panic attacks and agoraphobia, seizures, migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome,and Sjogrens disorder. YAY!!!!!

I guess I have always had panic issues. As a little girl, I was afraid to ride in the car because we might get lost - a fear I still have today. Fibromyalgia has been with me as long as I can remember, too. I hurt but I didn't know I was different from others. I figured everyone had to rest a lot and had issues with persistent weird body issues.

Three years ago I fell and broke my elbow. From that point on my life has gone downhill and my world becomes smaller. I am at the point of being afraid of talking on the phone. I lived in our bedroom for over a year and was some days terrified of going across the hall to the bathroom. Now I do go a few places. Walmart if I can ride a scooter (normally I would just walk with a cane but took a fall. And have a leg issue), doctor, mental health clinic, and an occasional auction. We are both pickers and have been eveñ before we met. I have a good eye so I buy fix and sell select items.

I spend my days knitting or cussing about knitting. The Tv is always on. I need the background noise. I am up all night usually - something the fibro likes to screw with me about. I have memory issues and mu stuttering and balance are all whacked out.

I read. I listen to people like Johny Cash and John Prine. I cannot live without my Kindle Fire. Pretty boring I guess.

Thanks for reading. I can promise I won't be the pain in the butt whiner I appear to be. Intros are hard because my life is hard. So hard I just can't figure it out.

Hello there!

I am new here and found this website in google. I was just too tired of being just by myself so I tried to find other people like me. I am too scared to search for them outside so that`s how I got here.

I am 19 years old. Born in Poland, living in Germany since few years now.

I am scared of people. Especially talking with new met ones. Even looking at strange people for example in public transportation makes me afraid of them. But what scares me the most is finding myself at the age of 50, with whole bunch of cats and nobody around. (I don`t mind cats till they are not mine).

Everyday for me is a fight to go out and live "normally". I don´t talk much and i am starting to hate people. Again.

I think I am normal girl, with problems and hopes. But in the same time I am so different then people around me.

That`s a little about me.

Well, I just discovered that I am registered to this site! I don't even remember registering or posting - but it appears I made a post before.

Hello everyone. I am extremely uncomfortable in social situations, so I guess I'm in good company here. :)
