Hi :)

[tantopat]

Okay, I'm completely useless at introductory posts, but I feel like I should at least post something here! Anyway, I'm Tantopat, I'm 21, and I've been trying to make money as an artist (I'm not doing very well though, since I feel a bit rude asking people to pay for drawings, and so I keep giving them away for free ;^^ ). I've been suffering with anxiety, particularly health anxiety, and depression ever since I was little, although it really kicked off when I was 17, and the fact that I have Asperger Syndrome also means that I'm a natural worrier anyway. I've also become agoraphobic after developing a phobia of heat (a strange thing to be scared of, I know!). My anxiety seems to have gotten worse over the past couple of months, but at least now that I've found this place I don't have to feel so alone with this anymore! :)

I'm a big fan of Cirque du Soleil, and I also love music (particularly prog rock and J-rock), video games, anime & manga, and the theatre. So...yeah. :P

Thank you so much for all the welcomes! :) It is great to have finally found a place like this, especially since everyone here seems friendly! ^-^ (It's amazing how many times I've joined a new forum, only to find that the whole place is like a giant clique, with members that don't want to talk to anyone they don't already know... ;^^ )
