Hello
I'm new to this site. I've tried other sites in the past but for about six months haven't really been online a great deal. I thought things were going great in my life and pretended that I was over most of my problems. I thought I could bury the bad ways of thinking from the past but have realised that just saying to myself that my anxiety and depression have gone doesn't make it so. My behaviour in recent months has made me realise that I've got a long way to go.
For a long while I thought that my main problem was Social Anxiety and if that lifted all would be well. Have realised recently that when it does lift, often it's replaced with blank empty depression.
I suppose I'm still learning about how to interact with other people, hopefully this site will help.
Oh, I'm a bloke, 35 years old and live in Southern England. Hello :)
