Hello everyone,
I am a sufferer of a severe form of generalized social phobia. I have suffered from this illness for nearly 30 years before I sought help. It as had a considerable effect on my life and left me feeling socially isolated and resulted in me suffering from depression. In February of last year I was diagnosed by a psychologist and started receiving treatment for my condition. I have since come to terms with my illness and have made steady progress. It will take time before I defeat this affliction but I am optimistic that I will.
For years I have felt that I was odd, strange or different but now I know I am just ill. To all those of you out there who are suffering or have suffered from anxiety or depression you have my most heartfelt sympathy and deepest empathy.
