I've been lurking around for about a week and finally got the courage to join and say hello :)
I'm tasha and I'm 24 and live in London. I suffer from social phobia, general anxiety and occasional bouts of depression. I haven't worked in a year since I had a breakdown after graduating from university (that's the edited version, it's part of a much longer story!). I've recently tried to go back to work through volunteering but I found it too much to deal with. I sometimes have trouble going out so I tend to spend a lot of time at home. It's hard watching people I know getting on with their lives while I'm stuck in this situation.
I do try and remain positive and I'm currently in counselling which is going really well if progressing slowly! I've suffered from anxiety and depression nearly all my life so I guess there's quite a lot to work on! ;)
I don't have many friends because of my condition and find it hard to socialise. I'm glad I found this forum so that I can find friendship and support from people who understand my situation :) If anyone would like to email me, my address is: cat26980@yahoo.co.uk (sometimes have trouble getting emails from hotmail addresses for some reason!)
Thank you for reading :)
