Hey! So, its been awhile since I've posted in a support forum, but I thought it'd be nice to come back. It helps to know that you're not alone. It's nice to have support and also be supportive in return, so yeah- I'm looking forward to being apart of a support forum again, especially one created by a friend. <3 Anyways- I've struggled with anxiety my whole life. I was the "shy" kid ever since I was 5. I was the outcast growing up. Right now, I'm diagnosed with social anxiety with panic attacks/social phobia/anxiety state (which I guess is just general anxiety) and some form of depression. I'm currently seeing a psychiatrist to get properly diagnosed and I may have something different/more, which I suppose I will share when the time comes. The ups and downs are difficult and anger has been a problem. Every day is a struggle and different. I never know what to expect or what my day is going to be like. And it's hard, so I figured it was time to get help as well as be apart of a community who understands. So, yeah- just trying to make it through this life and see the positive things even though it can be hard. Anyways...I tend to ramble at times...wasn't sure what to say, so I feel kind of anxious to even post this, but yeah....Hi! :- )
