As mentioned in the title, I'm probably just going to read other people's posts rather than making any of my own, mainly because it's very difficult for me to talk about my condition at all.
I've suffered from Social Anxiety Disorder since the age of 12, I'm nearly 24 now. Due to being so young and not seeking help for many years, my condition got worse over the years until I'm now housebound, not going further than the front or back garden.
Needless to say, it's hell and it's been worse lately since my physical health is failing and I can't get any treatment. I don't want any advice on that, it's something I have to deal with on my own. It is difficult though, having a mental illness about people judging you and then getting irreversible health problems that will make people judge you even more, if anything.
As I said, it's not something I particularly want to talk about, I just wanted to join to read about other people like me and thought instead of lurking, I'd at least make this post.
