Hi
My name is James. I am 31 years old and live in Norfolk.
I have had severe Social Anxiety and General Anxiety for as long as I can
remember.
I haven't worked for 9 years and for a period of about 4 years I didn't leave
my house or meet anyone if I hadn't had a drink first.
I managed to overcome the drinking (I do sometimes have a drink but it's very
rare) and improve myself to the point where I would answer the door or phone.
This was thanks to some very nice people who worked in mental health in my area.
At the moment I haven't progressed beyond what I have mentioned above. I still
don't work and very rarely go out. I'm going to try very hard to push myself to
the next level.
I have joined a few other related sites (even posted a number of times on one)
but have always stopped posting because the fear takes over and I feel that I
have nothing of value to say. I am determined not to do this again and I am
looking forward to getting to know you all.
