Hi, I'm 19 years old and I found this site a few months ago from a google search I had done. I read through some of the posts on the forums and a lot of people here seem to be quite helpful so I liked that, and bookmarked the site. I decided to join today because I need advice because I've been suffering from anxiety for a while now. There's several reasons why I think, some of it is embarassing really, I'd never discuss the issues with anyone offline, it's just too hard to do for me.
I was on antidepressants for only a brief period when I was about 15 or 16. I'm not sure if they made a difference, it could have just been a teen phase as I got over it easily and everything's been fine until the last few months, and it's getting worse.
I'm really not sure which forum I should post in to describe what's bothering me, it covers several topics really ... anxiety, depression, self esteem, and social. I sometimes feel like I have symtoms of OCD as well. I have quite a grim outlook on "the future" regarding my life right now, and I find myself to always be comparing myself to others.
I'm really not sure what else to say now ... just that I'm glad this site is here, I and many others would be lost without it!
