As a recovering alcoholic who used to self-medicate, I urge proceeding with extreme caution. If you don't have a family history of alcoholism and can drink somewhat without it becoming excessive, then... maybe. Responsible moderate use can be a good thing. But if you do use it to "treat"...

Interesting... I wasn't aware of SAS, so I checked it out for a few days. I didn't like the feel of it as much, not sure why. Seemed like a lot more off-topic stuff...

That's too bad. I'm guilty of it too -- I was usually here for a couple of weeks then drifted away -- but I finally quit Facebook for good and was surprised how quiet things had gotten here in the interim...

I remember this site being much more active... Why did so many people stop posting here? Did something happen, or just attrition?

What happened that led to so many people leaving? I remember much more activity here.

The actual city of Washington, D.C. -- not Maryland, not Virginia. Yes, people do live here! :)

Hello, all! I've been away from this site for a while. If any of you remember me, hello again. If not, it's nice to "meet" you. Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but... Does anyone here have the "Highly Sensitive Person" personality type? After a particularly nasty bout of...

From spending some time on this site, I feel like while I definitely have social anxiety, I am not sure I have social phobia. I get extremely anxious about all sorts of interactions, and I go through periods of hermit-like extreme introversion, but it’s not entirely debilitating. I wonder how...

Hello! I signed up for this forum seven years ago and then never used it, though I've appreciated the nice birthday automated message each year. Since I keep forgetting I signed up, it's always a surprise. I am 43 years old and have had depression, anxiety, and social anxiety issues for a long...
