Hi all,

If allowed, I thought I'd start a sort of online diary in this forum, documenting my daily or weekly feelings and activities so I can look back and see where I'm improving or going wrong. And if any of my experiences help anyone else along the way, then all the better!

I've put it in the Social Anxiety section as this is really where my journey began, by getting diagnosed with social anxiety and depression back in 2008. I've since been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and am currently on the waiting list for counselling but that's a whole new road that I haven't explored yet. I also have a big issue with agoraphobia; whether or not that is related to my social anxiety is unknown but I do struggle quite badly someday and cannot leave my flat at the worst times.

I'll leave it there for today as I'm currently destressing before my driving lesson tomorrow and don't want to kick up any negative emotions. If anyone wants to chat I'll happily answer PMs although my attendance on here has been a bit hit and miss in the past, with plenty of lurking 🙄

See you all soon,

Nat
