I'm studying at UQ, any other uni students here?
I'm a 19 year old guy who's into the usual stuff, and also crippled with worry and anxiety at times.

Hey all
Hey everyone from Brisvegas!
I'm from the North Side of Brissy. I'm new here and really to SA also. I'm 25 (male) but over the last 10 years or so I have always noticed being too self-conscious and just too concerned about what people think. I would sometimes avoid social contact but regret not having too many relationships. Anyways, so I have started to learn as much about this 'thing' as possible. It is something that holds me back from living to my full potential so I feel I need to attack it.
Is there a therapy group or something in Brisbane? Are there specialist psychologist in this area in Bris?
A big wave and g'day,
Dave

looking for someone similar to hang out with in brisb
Im 24 f in brisbane, I have been reading your posts and often visiting this site... and I have had enough wasting my life away without any people in my life. I am on here hoping to make some friendships, meet some people to hang out with, have fun and share stories.
I have had depression and SAD for as long as I can remember - painfully shy and nervous and very depressed. It is making my life, career and future plans VERY difficult. Being so alone all the time is damaging.
I hope to hear back from some of you, meet, keep each other company and live this life the best possible way!!
cheers,
my msn is [email protected] add me

Hi I'm new to this site (23 old female). I'm from Brisbane too, only moved here recently. Been very lonely over the last couple of years due to being far away from the few friends I had and the social anxiety not making my life any easier. Have been living with this problem for a very long time, but never understood what it really was until I read up about it when I was about 17 or something.
Would be nice to know people in my area who I can relate to

Hey, I'm a 28 year old male from Brisbane. I first developed signs of SAD when I was quite young. My stomach would tighten up around 'important' people and I couldn't say a word. I remember going to a doctor when I was about 16 and he thought I might have a stomach ulcer Eventually I just diagnosed myself. Before that though was many years of wondering what was going on and feeling alone. I still feel alone but at least I know what is going on.
I don't think I would class myself as having SAD anymore but I have OCD these days. All of the anxiety disorders are similar.
Anyway, send me a message I am on facebook moreso than here.

Hiya,
I'm a 25yr old male from south brissy (around the Mt Gravatt area) - moved over here from Christchurch NZ about a year ago.
I have made a few friends, which I find hard because I think i'm being judged or not good enough etc for a long time until I can trust.
I've had to work full time since I got here, and unbelievably its in retail at the moment which makes things almost impossible!! I take small doses of xanax to relax me at work and take the edge off otherwise I don't know what to say to people or look down, and if im managing that day and we are out money I think somehow I will be suspected or thought of as the culprit which makes me act guilty, situations like that really stress me, things like going to a friends and seeing someone new there will make me change completely.
I know its all in my mind and push myself to accept other people and not "act" around them but its hard to respond to the cues all of the time.
Once I know someone for a while I turn opposite, love doing things like rock climbing, go carting, road trips and just hanging out, and with a bit of alcohol even been to the valley and city clubbing a few times playing pool and having a good time! sadly my first actions may have presented some of the best relationships I could have had in my life.
Anyway I'll post my email here if anyone wants to chat.
