I was browsing around the internet and I stumbled upon this forum and it has answered so many questions that I've been wondering about myself recently.Just from browsing these forums before joining I have discovered I have SA to a certain extent.
It really sucks having this, because it has affected relationships at home, work, friends, etc... I always thought I was the only one who has this, then I found it is more common then I thought.
It is so nice to have found a place where people understand what you're going through:)
Yes anxiety is very common. Anxiety and depression are the two leading mental health conditions in the world. So you are definitely not alone. You may feel alone in your life with it, but here you can now feel popular with it 😛
Hope you can share your experiences with us as you settle into SPW 🙂
I was looking for a place to talk openly about my anxiety and some other problems that I have without being embarrassed and found this place.
I guess I should share a little bit about my background without being to detailed... well the first time i remember feeling anxious was when I was in grade two, it progressed as social services took my mother away, and by the time I was in grade seven I was missing three days a week to avoid my problems (school work wasn't done, I was getting picked on, etc). Missing all that school made going back even worse, so by the end of grade eight I just didn't go at all. High school was even worse, I didn't go for the entire year of grade nine. I go to a secluded high school now for four hours a day with only 4 other people. It's working out academically, but I don't have a social life at all.
I've been diagnosed with SAD, Bipolar disease, clinical depression, and sever other anxiety disorders. Besides all of those, I'm also a naturally shy and quiet person, I prefer being alone than with a crowd. My mother has helped me through a lot, but no one else besides her can understand. I just need to talk about it with someone.
Hi. I've been avoidant for a long time now, but I'm finally trying to face up to it, got a probable official diagnosis and treatment coming up in about a month, so I'm doing my research and so on.
Naturally I didn't want to introduce myself, but start as you mean to go on...
Hi, my name is Karina. i'm new to this forum, and to all forums. I've never really used one before.I'm here because my therapist reccomended me finding a website for social phobia, and getting in touch with other social phobics.
So here I am.
More about myself: I'm 17, been a social phobic probably my whole life, cried on my first day of Kindergarten (and for the next few weeks), hated middle and high school, am about to graduate high school, didn't go to my senior prom, and I'm into writing.
well, i've been around for a couple of weeks and I finally decided to register. I won't waste your time with my problems now, if i'me here you can figure it out 😀
anyway, i'm glad to be here and I hope that together we will defeat SA (sooner or later 🙄)
PS: as you can see, i'm not very good in english, I hope you will understand me (posting in another language, now I do feel anxious haha)

;)Hello welcome here and u will meet a lot new people i'm sure with that.
Welcome! Don't worry, English isn't my native language either, and I was pretty nervous about my grammar skills when I joined, but you’ll find people are quite relaxed about it and don’t really mind if you besmirch the English language unintentionally, heh.
Wow I don't know why, but I didn't read your message before, sorry. Sometimes I read the same thread without new posts in it ten times and it stays as "with new posts" and this time it appeared like "no new posts" 😕
Anyway, thanks for your comment 🙂 i'll try not to besmirch English (and I know I always do haha)
So is deal? We have contest who will more besmirch english? And what will be a prize?🙂 I will besmirch better i'm sure anyway so don't worry about your english anymore.
