Hi All

I am new here but unfortunately not new to anxiety/panic/depression which I have suffered on and off now since 17 years old (almost double that age now!!). I think I am coming to a point in my life where I realise I am quite alone with no friends etc (apart from work colleagues) anxiety has severely limited my life over the years but although I have minor setbacks now and then, I have come a long way to what I used to be.

I hope I can make friends here and who knows, may be even meet up with people in a similar capacity as myself and finally be ME without fear of embarrasing myself and others with 'what if' scenarios (I bet you have all been there!)

Anyway that's me in a nutshell. Speak to you later!!
