Ahhhh.. Why have I not found this website before?! :rolleyes:

Hello. I'm Aaron, and I have just created my account on Social Phobia World. I have only recently begun to get the correct kind of treatment and support for my social phobia/anxiety, hyperhidrosis and depression after 10+ years of suffering. Finally, I feel like there is a little light at the end of a long and dark tunnel.

With time I hope to be able to to share some of my experiences with people who will understand what I am on about, and I hope to read other people's experiences and ways of dealing with or overcoming similar difficulties.

Happy thoughts!

thanks to all of you for making me feel welcome :) i really appreciate it as *surprise surprise* i was a little worried about engaging.. but then i thought sod it, we're all here for a reason and share a similar situation.

sooo... i'm still in the early stages of getting help at the moment. i'm starting CBT in the next few weeks and my doctor is talking about SSRIs. i was a little sceptical about the idea of CBT to start with but i'm prepared to give it go. i'm also very weary of antidepressants. i'd rather focus on the CBT for a while and see how that goes before starting those kinds of meds. anyone have any thoughts or experiences about CBT/SSRIs they would like to share?

also, i saw a live hedgehog for the first time in about 10 years last night :D i'd forgotten how cool they were.

Hmm I don't I'm afraid, I bet if you reposted that as a new thread, you'd get some helpful responses :) ppl just see hi in the title and respond to that a lot of the time

Hedgehogs are brilliant! I haven't seen one in years, saw a fox wondering down my road the other day though!

thanks jewel, i'll repost. while i'm quite confident on the internet (and with computers/technology in general) this is the first time i've used an actual forum website, so i still need to get used to how they work/posting rules etc.

hope you're good :)
