Clearly, I'm new here. Never knew a place like this existed.
It's kinda sad, that I'm doing this but I thought I might give it a try. That's not to say that it's sad that people are here, but to me it's almost like a 'what are you doing here' kind of thing. I never knew that SA could be an actual diagnosis (and I'm studying to be a nurse lol) I thought it was just a thing people had. Didn't know it was clinically recognized.
I tend to write a lot. I say it's because I don't talk much so the words have to come out some way.
There seems to be a nice community here and I hope i can fit in somewhere.
Nice to meet you all
I'm from Toronto

I hope it's okay that I made another thread (that seemed to be what people were doing).

Xanadu - Kubla Khan
a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!

The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!

A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me
That with music loud and long
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

There is nothing that makes you inferior for having SA. The perceptions most laypeople have about such things tends to be incorrect and bigoted in nature. You need not fear judgment here. I bid you welcome to the forum.

Do you pronounce it Toronto or Torono?

As for creating another thread. I do not think it is a problem.

Welcome, Bona fortuna and enjoy.
