Hello. :)
My name is Joanna, 22 years old currently living in Glasgow. I've suffered with social anxiety for a long time now, along with PTSD and body dysmorphic disorder.
My panic attacks have been getting worse lately - I haven't been attending university and finding it extremely difficult to go out and do food shopping etc. I have my first counselling session on Wednesday.. can't think about it without tearing up :unsure:
I've tried to sign up to various forums in the past.. but didn't keep at it. I'm hoping to meet some new people and try not to bottle up so much all the time. I love my offline friends, but they often get upset and frustrated with me because I go through stages of staying inside and not going out with them much. Just hoping to make friends with people who understand a little better. :blush:
Anyway, hello, looking forward to chatting with you all :)
