Hi
I'm 17 years old and have had what I suspect is SA since I was about 13. I don't have any friends and don't get out very much at all. I have had a few friends in the past few years, but when I start to really get to know them well, I start getting paranoid about why they would want to spend time with me or if it's just some cruel trick. Once this begins I completely cut them off and avoid them, so that's the end of that friendship.
My family doesn't discuss personal issues so I would never be able to bring myself tell them about this, meaning I can't get professional help. I saw somewhere else on this site that someone posted some links to groups that help people like me, but they all had price tags of $500+. As I have quit my job, I don't have any income so can't do this either. Does anyone know of any groups that I can go to that are, well... Cheaper? In other words, free. I don't care if they're not very good, I just want to be able to meet people that I can relate to...
PS. This was the 4th time I've written this post and it's still not right, but it'll have to do...
Thanks
