This chapter in my life is coming to an end and its time to start a new one, one where I jump back into life.
I have dedicated 3 years of my life to overcome the terrible way I suffered, at my lowest point I could hardly leave the house, not use the phone, couldn't speak to people face to face, but I feel right now that I have succeeded in changing it all.
I no longer have reason to post here now, SA has held me back since the age of 13 when I suffered years of bullying, I am now 29, its time to make things happen, I have so many dreams and ambitions to fulfill, I can't waste more time!
What can I say about SA? What a terrible way to suffer, but for myself it was all logical and rational and not because I was sick in the head like some people say you must be if you have SA. The whole fact we are all anxious around people shows that we built up fears relating to other people, its not some random anxiety, its there because our mind recognised danger of being hurt around people. Some people say its irrational because we are in no danger, but if you have been hurt around people - ridiculed, insulted, laughed at, bullied, called names, made to feel like a freak, etc - then you will realise how much it can hurt. There is nothing irrational about fearing that!
One thing I will say about SA is that it has made me the best person I could ever wish to be. Its going to be difficult to get my life from having so little right now in terms of lack of people in my life to one where I have everything I wish for. But if I can overcome SA, then I can achieve anything!
And if I can do it then anyone can!
Thanks to everyone who I chatted to.
All the best!
