Hi all, have just signed up.
I'm a male in my mid twenties, from the northeast of England.
For years I've been having trouble with anxiety and depression - social anxiety, and a therapist friend has recently said I may have generalised anxiety (feeling pathetic about my mental health issues, this sets off anxiety/sinks me into depression) as well.
I've had these problems since my teenage years, of different strengths over the years. I tend to obsess over what people think of me, stupidly so. There's times when I've made plans to meet up with friends and then pulling out because of fears, or sitting there and not saying much, out of self-consciousness.
I'm wanting to knock down my mental barriers, get better at opening up... and hopefully I can do so here!
