:) Hey there I've just signed up, I am diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder and OCD and my main problem is relationship anxiety and GAD, but also integrating into society in general - (partly my illness partly just me being a bit of a lefty!)
I live with my partner, I moved from my home town a few years back to a big city and am feeling a bit isolated and missing birds and bees and friends!
I am currently in NHS psychotherapy after a year long wait.
Over the years I have been on lots of different meds and tried lots of councilling and types of therapy in short bursts, lots of self help methods etc, but I am a work in progress, having lived with anxiety most of my life (it kicked in big time when I hit 11 and I am now 30).
I love animals, nature, swimming, film and dancing to favourite tunes! Oh and food - but I try not to eat much as I get zilch exercise!
Should also mention am on ESA and in middle of appeal against Atos/DWP decision.
