Hello my name is Antarctica (for real). I'm new here. Do I have social phobia? Well I am afraid of social things so I'd say yes. Lets see, I also haven't made a friend since 5th grade.

I have no idea why (unless it turns out that I'm bipolar, LOL), but this morning I woke up in an unusually good mood. I felt happy depite my problems. I felt hopeful about the future. I felt slightly confident. I actually slightly socialized with some coworkers before work (while scrunching up...

I just want to stop these thoughts of fear and anxiety. Everything is out of control and sometimes I can't function anymore. I'm scared to see a doctor because I wouldn't know where to begin. My university has personal counsellors but I'm so afraid. I don't want to have a breakdown in front of...

You know this is the safest place to take risks and communicate with people who understand. I really do find these rooms very slow and have stopped coming here very often, ive found rooms where people talk and respond to eachothere. it is easy to just tap in anything you want, no omes going to...

Hey all. I'm doing better this week (last week was when I posted that enormous rant about not functioning at work or in life). Posts on this forum and others really help me see things in a less delusional light. Thank you all! Today we had another little lunch gathering in the breakroom. It was...

Hi All, I happened to stumble across this site late last night, I was feeling really down and I’m really glad I found it. It’s comforting to know I am not alone and there are people going through the same problems as myself. I can relate to a lot of people on here and one thing I would like to...

Wondering if there are any fellow SP/AVPD folks on this board in the New England area. We could chat online or hang out and socialize (horrors!! :) ) and talk about SP or anything else. Respond to this thread if that sounds like you. :)

Inpenetrable rant ahead; I forget about normal punctuation when I freak. Bad trait for a copy editor... Why can't I function remotely normally?!???? It's Friday and our supervisors are out for the day (which normally means a more relaxing day). But now everyone pitching in for pizza to eat as...

This is something i used to read about and never thought that it would happen to me. I had a good job in South-Africa, i drove a car and went shopping all by myself. It may not seem a big deal , but it is when we moved to England. I suddenly found myself being uncomfortable in shops or anywhere...

At menopause, my body started falling apart. 10 years ago, I started with Paxil, respiridal, and klonipin. aAbout 3 yrs. ago, I started worrying about my mind; I couldn't remember common names for things or how to state things correctly. So I stopped taking them, had a severe skin problem...
