Hi all. I've just joined the site and thought I'd introduce myself.
I've just turned 40 and have suffered from most forms of anxiety all my life. I have also recently suffered from depression and coupled with low self esteem, lack of confidence and shyness, day to day living is a struggle. It's not all bad. I do have my own place (but live alone so get very lonely at times) and have managed to hold down a job for a number of years (unfortunately a low paid very stressful job which has only added to my anxiety issues). I am proud I have managed to achieve these things but socially I am a mess. I have very few friends and hardly ever go out and I'm embarrassed to say I have never had a girlfriend. I just cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I have joined this site in the hope of making friends with people who are in a similar position, and if I can help others as well as receiving help myself that would be great. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
