Hiya everyone :waves:
After reading some of the introduction posts, it makes me feel abit of a fraud being here, since my problems are nothing compared to others. But, as 'desiderata' says, don't compare yourself to others, so I will try not to. :) I am a 32 year old guy who has suffered with cronic depression and shyness for a long time - on and off, along with OCD and 'mild' anxiety.
I have been on sertraline for a couple of years, after being off meds for a while, which ended up being fairly disasterous for me and me having a 'mental meltdown.' I have picked myself and my fragile confidence up off the floor, I am still walking that long steep road of 'mental illness avenue' - it isn't always easy, and some days it is better just to hide away, but I'll keep on trying. Thank you for this forum, I look forward to making friends and joining in discussions.
