Well, after four long years I'm getting help with my severe depression and social anxiety, or at least I'm giving it a go. This mental nurse (I think she's called a CPN) that visits me frequently is getting me set up with voluntary work and various types of therapy. It's not perfect, but I'm giving it a try at least.
I've also left school, where I was for six years, and I've been enrolled on a new course at college where some of my old school friends go. Completely new start. Nobody that knows me to judge me... hopefully.
Just gotta give it all a shot really. I have my doubts, but that's due to bad experience with "fresh starts" - however this is a completely new leaf.
