Hey people

My name is Zoe. I suffer from an anxiety and depressive disorder. I was diagnosed nearly 2 years ago but i have always known there was something different about my life than other people i know. I always like to help other people so i have never really considered about what i may be doing wrong for myself which could be increasing the anxiety. At the moment i am really struggling with social anxiety. I find it so hard to meet new people, esp people of the same sex. I stop myself going out with the friends i have because i am worried that something will happen when i am out with them. Has anyone got any advice they can give me about overcoming the fear of meeting people. Thanks
Zoe

Hi Zoe

I'm new to the site too, but it has been very friendly so far :). There's loads of great advice, and it's good to read posts from other members and think "That's how I feel!", or to post yourself and have replies from people who understand what you're feeling. I'm glad I found my way here!

Thank you for the message MandyGM.

I agree. I have joined a couple of sites like this. My problem is i find it hard to stick at things so hopefully i will keep coming back. I like your picture lol
