hiya I'm Ruth and I'm 21 and live in Bristol, I've had agoraphobia and panic attacks for several years and am finding it extremely difficult to overcome. I dropped out of College just before the end of my A levels and since then I have only really felt able to go out with other people. As my user name suggests (kooky crafter) I love crafting especially wierd and random stuff, I love to do craft swaps online and when I can get there I go to a art studio thing once a week. In Oct. l am starting an OU course in Social sciences, with a view to applying to uni again to study Anthropology and Media/cultural Studies, hopefully with a focus on the representation and behaviour of religions and in media I would also like to study more about print media.
I am trying to do some more stuff over the summer, tomorrow I am going to Ashton Court festival and feeling extremely anxious about it! Trying to focus on the fact there is a craft village this year, if I can just get over my anxiety I know I'll really enjoy it. If only I could stop seeing myself crying and screaming in a big crowd of people - all staring at me whenever I think of it!

p.s I am also the proud new owner of a tablet pc and often use the handwriting recognition feature which doesn't always get it right , so sometimes a word might be wrong!
