hi.
i wanted to post a little about me, so that everyone on the forum knew who i was, and likewise.
my name is emily, and i live in the UK. i'm a bipolar sufferer, and i'm also agoraphobic (and have social anxiety)
it's a struggle for me... 1 of the things for me is that support is limited- so called family and friends want nothing to do with me, and it makes it really difficult.
let's see... what can i say about myself that's positive
well, i love watching movies. i love watching drama and romance films- oh yeah, and i have a great sense of humor
at times i find myself making jokes about things without even knowing that i'm doing it (which can be rather amusing because i'll think later, oh yeah, that is kinda funny!)
i love music. music goes everywhere with me. my fave singer is michael jackson, (and was devistated when he died!)
as for why i joined this forum, well, i admit i was looking for an email support group (they are smaller and easier to use) but i joined because, well, because i feel like my life is being taken away from me because of all this mental illness, and i hate it- i hate knowing people who have made so much out of their lives, and i can't even get through colledge (it's a bit of a horrible thought, knowing how much of my life is void!)
i also joined because i need support- if my family and friends arn't going to help me, i need something. and that's why i came here- to talk to people going through the same thing as me, to learn skills, to share experiences, that kind of thing
actually found this site by searching "agoraphobia email lists"
so yeah.. i'm a little bit random, a lot of serious, and.. yeah. i'm just me.
